In practice, it is generally the case that if you have had significant problems with the Tax and Customs Board in the past, if you cannot adequately describe your business activities, if you do not have a bank account with an Estonian bank, you will not receive a VAT number.

The Tax and Customs Board has the right to request that the person submit additional proof or collect such proof on its own initiative. The proof is any information confirming that the applicant has either commenced business at the place of business stated in the application or has planned to start a business. Such proof can be, for example, preliminary contracts, (commercial lease, procurement, delivery, employment, etc.) contracts, sites for work to be performed, etc.
