As an entrepreneur in Estonia, managing access to various services for your accountant can streamline your business processes, ensuring smooth financial reporting and compliance. From e-MTA (e-Tax Board) to RIK and Statistics Estonia, granting access permissions allows your accountant to efficiently handle the necessary tasks for your company. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of granting access to your accountant for three key services: e-MTA, RIK, and eSTAT, along with a brief overview of Pääsuke, the central authorisations management system.

1. Granting access to e-MTA (e-Tax Board)
To allow your accountant to manage your tax affairs, you’ll need to grant them access via the e-MTA portal. Follow these steps:

• • Log in to the e-MTA environment: Visit www.emta.ee and log in using your e-residency card.
  • Select your company: Choose your company under the represented person section.

• • Navigate to access permissions: Go to Settings → Access permissions → Access permissions of representatives.

• • Grant access: Choose your company, then click New access permission. Find your accountant using their personal ID code or user ID, and click Search.

• • Assign permissions: Tick the name of your accountant, specify the start date, and select Delegable permission.

• • Configure specific rights: Under Separate permissions, grant your accountant the right to administer user rights.

• • In the space provided next to “Name” write “The right of the representative of a person to administer the user rights of applications” and select “Over areas” from the list provided next to “Area”, then push the „Search“ button.

• • Tick “The right of the representative of the legal person to administer the user rights of applications“ and click “Add”.

• • Confirm Your choice by clicking “Add”.

• Confirm: After finalising, confirm your selections and check for a green confirmation box indicating successful addition.

If you cannot sign digitally, send a photo of yourself holding your ID and the signed power of attorney to e-maks@emta.ee. For further details, refer to e-MTA’s guide.

2. Granting access to RIK (Company Registration Portal)
For submitting annual reports, your accountant needs access to RIK. Here’s how to grant it:

• Log in to the RIK portal: Visit ariregister.rik.ee and log in with your e-residency card.
• Select “Annual Report”: From the menu bar, click on Annual Report.
• Add your accountant: Under Defining persons entering data, input your accountant’s personal ID code and select the relevant company.

3. Granting access to eSTAT (Statistics Portal)
If your accountant needs access to file statistical reports, here’s how to grant access via the eSTAT platform:

• • Visit the eSTAT webpage: Go to www.stat.ee/en and click Go to eSTAT.

• • Log in: Choose your preferred login method.

• • Enter the enterprise environment: Click on Enter the enterprise environment.

• • Manage users: Navigate to Manage users and click Add new respondent.

• • Add your accountant by pressing “Add new respondent”: Select your company from the drop-down menu and enter your accountant’s details (ID code, name, job title, etc.).

• • Select a company (economic entity) from the drop-down menu and press “Select”

Granting access to these essential services ensures that your accountant can manage your business’s financial tasks smoothly, allowing you to focus on growing your company. By following these steps, you can easily assign the necessary permissions for tax filing, annual reports, and statistical reporting. This not only simplifies compliance but also keeps your business running efficiently.
