Here's a newer post from a German who previously was a fan of the Estonian e-business, saying things changed for the worse in 2025:

This seems to only raise issues about taxes but none about the bureaucracy side?

That just seems like an ad for their LLC incorporating service.

Ok, road tabbaco alcool taxes have risen in Estonia in 2025. But wtf does that matter for an e-resident?! Or that there are going to be harder ways to "secretly distribute profits". But that's just tax avoidance and they are leading with these ideas on their blog?

2% tax on profits to support the military, and 2% extra on VAT is what changed in 2025 and important for e-Residents.
