6 reasons why crypto-business is to be done in estonia rather than anywhere else
1. Terms
It takes only 3 months to register a company and get cryptocurrency license in Estonia to operate the crypto-currency project
2. Legislation
In 2017 Estonia was one of the first countries in the world which introduced cryptocurrency regulation. Crypto/blockchain projects can apply for virtual currency service license. (Till 10.03.2020 there were two licenses: for exchanging a virtual currency against a fiat currency and providing a virtual currency wallet service)
3. Cost
The cryptocurrency license in Estonia is 3 to 4 times lower than in Malta, Singapore, Switzerland or the USA
4. Regulatory bodies
Interaction with regulatory bodies and their accessibility is vital for blockchain projects.
Communication and interface with the Financial Inspectorate and the Money Laundering Data Bureau in Estonia is much easier than in the US or Singapore: the required legal information, assistance in solving various issues within their jurisdiction, possibility to communicate in English and Russian languages
5. E-residency
Estonia is open to any entrepreneur from all over the world and is recognized as one of the most developed countries in terms of digitalization and IT. A person who intends to do business in Estonia may apply for an e-residece card that allows access to all government services and simplifies communication with state authorities. This card prevents you from bureaucracy and saves a lot of your time
6. Tax policy and 0% Tax
According to the OECD, the tax policy in Estonia is one of the most competitive tax policies in the world. There is no profit tax in Estonia. Bitcoins and altcoins are not subject to VAT. Yet, ICO projects are not taxed. That means that ICO attracted funds are not subject to profit tax until ICO dividends are distributed
