Accounting services in Estonia

Estonia Accounting Services

 

Estonia’s digital-first approach extends to accounting and tax compliance. If you’ve registered an Estonian company (especially through the e-Residency program), you need accounting services that understand Estonia’s unique tax system.

What makes Estonian accounting different: 

Estonia uses a unique corporate tax system where retained profits aren’t taxed. You only pay the 20% corporate income tax when distributing dividends. This creates powerful opportunities for reinvestment, but it also means your accounting needs to clearly track retained vs. distributed profits.

Our Estonia accounting services include:

  • Monthly bookkeeping aligned with Estonian accounting standards
  • Annual reports preparation and filing with the Commercial Register
  • Corporate income tax declarations (even when no tax is due)
  • VAT registration and quarterly VAT returns for EU sales
  • Payroll services for Estonian and international employees
  • E-invoicing setup and management
  • UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner) declaration filing
  • Coordination with Estonian tax authorities when needed

Estonian companies must file annual reports by June 30th following the financial year. We ensure your reports are prepared accurately and filed on time, keeping your company in good standing with the Commercial Register.

Best for: Digital businesses, SaaS companies, e-commerce sellers, and remote-first companies operating through Estonian entities.

Accounting services in the UK

UK Accounting Services

UK accounting follows well-established standards, but staying compliant requires understanding Companies House requirements, HMRC tax obligations, and proper financial statement preparation.

What makes UK accounting different: UK companies must file both annual accounts with Companies House (public record) and separate tax returns with HMRC. 

Different deadlines, different formats, and penalties for late filing make professional accounting essential.

Our UK accounting services include:

  • Monthly management accounts and bookkeeping
  • Annual statutory accounts preparation for Companies House
  • Corporation Tax returns for HMRC (CT600)
  • VAT registration and MTD (Making Tax Digital) compliant returns
  • Payroll services including PAYE, National Insurance, and RTI submissions
  • CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) if applicable
  • Confirmation Statement filing
  • Corporate tax planning and R&D tax credit claims

UK Corporation Tax is currently 19-25% depending on profits. We help structure your finances to take advantage of available reliefs and allowances, from capital allowances to patent box regime for qualifying IP.

Companies House requires accounts within 9 months of year-end for private companies. HMRC requires Corporation Tax returns within 12 months. We manage both deadlines seamlessly.

Best for: Trading companies, consultancies, agencies, e-commerce businesses, and companies needing UK presence for EU market access.

Accounting services in Hong Kong

Hong Kong Accounting Services

Hong Kong’s territorial tax system creates unique accounting opportunities, but only if your finances are structured correctly and properly documented. Substance requirements mean your accounting records must clearly demonstrate where income is sourced.

What makes Hong Kong accounting different: Only Hong Kong-sourced profits are taxable. Foreign-sourced income is typically tax-exempt. But proving income is offshore requires proper documentation—contracts, invoicing, operational evidence. Your accounting system must support these claims.

Our Hong Kong accounting services include:

  • Monthly bookkeeping and financial statement preparation
  • Profits Tax returns with offshore claims where applicable
  • Audit coordination (required for most HK companies)
  • Employer’s Return filing for payroll
  • Business Registration Certificate renewal
  • Annual Return filing with Companies Registry
  • Transfer pricing documentation for related-party transactions
  • Substance documentation to support offshore claims

Hong Kong Profits Tax is 8.25% on first HKD 2 million, then 16.5% on remaining profits—but only on Hong Kong-sourced income. Many e-commerce sellers, holding companies, and service providers structure operations for legitimate offshore treatment.

Audit is required for most companies unless they qualify for audit exemption (very small operations). We work with Hong Kong CPA firms to ensure your audit goes smoothly.

Best for: E-commerce sellers, cross-border traders, holding companies, IP licensing structures, and businesses serving international markets from Hong Kong.

Accounting services in Portugal

Portugal Accounting Services

Portugal has become increasingly popular for entrepreneurs relocating to Europe, especially with NHR (Non-Habitual Resident) tax benefits. Portuguese accounting combines EU standards with local requirements.

What makes Portuguese accounting different: Portugal requires certified accountants (Contabilista Certificado) to handle business accounting. All accounting must be submitted electronically through the tax authority’s portal, and strict documentation requirements apply.

Our Portugal accounting services include:

  • Monthly bookkeeping through certified Portuguese accountants
  • IRS (personal income tax) coordination for business owners
  • IRC (corporate income tax) preparation and filing
  • IVA (VAT) registration and quarterly returns
  • Social Security declarations for employees and owners
  • Annual financial statements compliant with Portuguese accounting standards
  • Optimization under the IFICI tax incentive regime (the successor to NHR) for qualifying individuals
  • Municipal tax (IMI) support for property-holding companies

Portuguese companies benefit from EU tax directives and treaties. The corporate tax rate is 19% in 2026 (15% on the first €50,000 for qualifying small and medium-sized enterprises), with additional municipal surtaxes for larger companies.

Portugal’s growing tech scene and startup ecosystem make it attractive for digital businesses seeking an EU presence with favorable tax treatment.

Portugal’s growing tech scene and startup ecosystem make it attractive for digital businesses seeking EU presence with favorable personal tax treatment.

Best for: Entrepreneurs relocating to Portugal, tech startups, digital nomads establishing EU business, and companies targeting Portuguese-speaking markets.

UAE Accounting Services

UAE’s zero-tax environment (for qualifying businesses) is attracting entrepreneurs worldwide. However, recent introduction of corporate tax for non-free zone companies and strict economic substance requirements mean professional accounting is more important than ever.

What makes UAE accounting different: Free zone companies can maintain zero-tax status if they meet specific requirements. Mainland companies now face 9% corporate tax on profits above AED 375,000. Proper classification and documentation are crucial.

Our UAE accounting services include:

  • Monthly bookkeeping for free zone and mainland companies
  • Corporate Tax registration and return filing (where applicable)
  • VAT registration and quarterly filing (5% standard rate)
  • Economic Substance Regulations (ESR) reporting
  • Audit services for companies exceeding thresholds
  • Transfer pricing documentation
  • Ultimate Beneficial Owner declarations
  • Coordination with UAE accounting standards and regulations

UAE introduced corporate tax effective June 2023, but free zone companies can still achieve 0% tax if they meet qualifying conditions. This makes proper accounting structure essential from day one.

VAT registration is mandatory for businesses with turnover exceeding AED 375,000. Many international businesses voluntarily register to reclaim VAT on setup costs.

Best for: E-commerce businesses, trading companies, consultancies, holding structures, and businesses targeting Middle East and African markets.
