Ask HN: Anyone doing business using Estonian e-residency?

There are limitations like I cannot rent an office for longer than six months and my company is registered in Estonia with an Estonian address (I use leapin.eu which takes care of the accounting part). I get your point and when you are selling physical products I cannot see how that would be possible. However if you are doing location independent work like coding or designing it is almost effortless to not become a tax resident.

Also the Dutch tax laws don’t care about the company as long as you pay the personal income tax plus some employee insurance tax.

In the Netherlands, a corporation is a resident for tax purposes if the management and control of that company is in the Netherlands, regardless of where that corporation is set up. There is no reference to address or office location. I'd be wary of casually dismissing Dutch tax residency of an "online" company--it is not as trivial as most think it is.
