What you will do in this guide
- Grant your accountant and 1Office access to e-MTA (Estonian Tax and Customs Board)
- Grant access to RIK (Company Registration Portal) for annual reports via eesti.ee or directly

Each section takes about 5 minutes. You will need your e-Residency card, ID-card, Mobile-ID, or Smart-ID.
For your accountant to manage your company's tax filings, annual reports, and statistical reporting in Estonia, you need to grant them access to three key portals. This guide walks you through each one. For e-MTA and the annual report portal (RIK), you will also need to grant access to 1Office Estonia OÜ separately.

If you cannot sign digitally, please send a photo of yourself holding your ID document and the signed power of attorney (Power of attorney for using services related to compliance with tax liability in the e-services environment of the Estonian Tax and Customs Board) to [email protected]. Please make sure that the text on both documents is clearly legible, and add your accountant in CC when sending the e-mail.
Please note that assistance with the physical power of attorney option is provided as an additional paid service.

3. Granting access to Statistics Estonia
To allow your accountant to submit statistical reports for your company, please add them as a user in the Statistics Estonia self-service environment. Follow these steps:
- 1 Go to www.stat.ee/en and click "Go to self-service" in the top right corner.
- 2 Click "Enterprise questionnaires".
