As 2026 approaches, it is important to review the key tax rates in Estonia that will apply in the new fiscal year. Below is a structured overview of the most relevant figures for employees, entrepreneurs, and company owners.

This development has reopened discussions around affordability, consumption patterns, and the real cost of everyday goods. There have been public discussions about potentially reducing VAT on basic food items. If such a decision is made, it would also be reasonable to examine retail margins on essential products - not only tax rates.
