As of 1 February 2023, some laws related to business activities of commercial organisations have changed in Estonia. One of such amendments to the law was the removal of companies from the register that did not submit their annual reports on time. Since February 2024, a large number of companies have fallen under this law and have been removed from the register.
A legal person may be reinstated to the Commercial Register for continuation of activities if it was deleted due to failure to submit an annual report or failure to appoint a required contact person, provided the missing data or documents are submitted.
With the speeding up of the deregistration process, reinstatement has also become more flexible. This is aimed at incentivising business owners to comply with the duty to provide the necessary information, while allowing those who genuinely wish to do so the opportunity to continue operating. A petition for reinstatement for continuation of activities may be submitted within three years after deletion where the company was deleted under the statutory annual-report or contact-person deletion procedures.
