You are welcome !

BTW if you are a Portuguese citizen you can register your company in a easier way, from this page: https://e-estonia.com/component/e-business-register/

Finally if you want to open a company in estonia you will need a physical address, fortunately the government is aware of this hurdle, and in it's website suggest an handful of providers: https://e-residency.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205207022-...

The one with the nicer website is LeapIN, that has very affordable prices...

You need more than a physical address, you need to live in estonia if you don't want to pay extra taxes. This is true for at least Finland, I have consulted tax lawyers about this.

I have explored quite a bit the idea of opening a company in Estonia via e-residency and this particular point of extra taxes never showed up.

I am sure is not something that they would put on the first page, however I am a little surprise.

Do you care to elaborate ?

They are not listed because the extra taxes are not levied by Estonia.

Almost every country in the world taxes their residents' income, even if it arrives from a company abroad. And US (in)famously taxes their citizens' income, even if they do not live in US.

So if you run a company remotely, you still have to check with your local tax rules to see how much tax you may need to pay if this company pays you salary or dividend.

AFAIK the extra taxes apply to your country of origin, not to Estonia.
