Transaction advisory
We advised OÜ Rannu Seeme in the transaction of the exit of a shareholder
Grant Thornton Baltic's transaction advisory team helped OÜ Rannu Seeme develop the conditions for the exit of the partner, including advising on the execution and formalization of the transaction.
HR management
Sink or swim: well-organized HR work also gives a smaller company a competitive advantage.
Employees are the greatest asset of any company, upon which competitive advantage is built - but they are also one of the largest cost factors. Every business leader should think about on whether we are doing all we can, to preserve this investment and whether we are making the most of our employees' potential.

- Evaluation of the risk of taxation of outbound business trips and employment relations in the country of origin and the country of destination- both from the employer’s and the employee’s perspective

Even though the Estonian law does not provide a definition of a short-term or long-term business trip, the duration of the business trip must be taken into consideration for the purposes of both income tax and social tax.
- When should the employer apply for A1 certificate from the Social Insurance Board?
- When does the employee’s tax residency change and how to appropriately account for it?
- How to calculate taxes on wages paid to employees sent on long-term business trips?
- What kind of corporate income tax risks are involved in long-term business trips and existing employment contract?
- Which tax liabilities and tax incentives are applied to employees working in a foreign country?
The issues related to taxation of expatriate employees are equally important:
- When should an expatriate employer register as a taxpayer in Estonia?
- How to compensate for the costs borne by the expatriate employee?
- Which additional registrations are required for an expatriate employee in Estonia?
Our goal is to provide a comprehensive support and ensure compliance with the requirements established for both employees of resident and non-resident employers.
