Who this page is for
Owners and directors in Indonesia who own or manage an Estonian company — one bought or formed with us, or your own — whether or not they are e-residents.
A company established under Estonian law keeps its Estonian duties wherever its owners live: accounts, an annual report to the commercial register and, if its address is abroad, a contact person in Estonia.
Services and prices
Registered address and contact person together, per year: €350 / year — the registered address in Estonia and the licensed contact person together for a further 12 months, at a combined price lower than the two services ordered separately.
Estonian company tax residence and permanent establishment analysis: from €1,200 for one company and one other country. Annual company secretary service: €250 / year.
All prices are in euros. LexorCorp Global OÜ is not registered for VAT; no VAT is added to the price. Where a price is shown as “from”, notary fees, translations and certification of powers of attorney, state fees and other administrative costs are charged in addition.

What the services include
The services are ordered online; you stay in Indonesia.
- The extension continues the registered address and the licensed contact person for the next 12 months, including receipt and scanning of official mail. We remind you before the term ends.
- The analysis is a written analysis of the rules and of your facts: the Estonian residence rule, the residence and permanent-establishment rules of the other country read from their official text, the rules of the tax treaty, the facts your case turns on and the questions to take to a tax adviser in the other country. It is not tax advice and not a ruling.
- For twelve months the company secretary service keeps your company's corporate calendar: email reminders of the annual report deadline and of the register data that must be kept current, one annual check of the company's commercial register and beneficial owner data, and a draft shareholder resolution approving the annual report.
- The secretary service does not include the annual report itself, register changes or accounting.
Why the address and contact person must not lapse
- A contact person is entered in the register for a term; when the term ends, the data are removed from the register automatically (Commercial Register Act § 24).
- A company whose address is abroad must have a contact person: without one the registrar sets a time limit with a warning and may then delete the company from the register (§ 62).
Where your OÜ is resident for tax: Estonia and Indonesia
In Estonia a company established under Estonian law is resident for tax purposes (Income Tax Act § 6).
A body established or domiciled in Indonesia is a domestic taxpayer, and the Director General of Taxes determines a body's domicile according to the actual circumstances (Income Tax Law, article 2(3)(b) and 2(6)); a place of management in Indonesia of a foreign company is a permanent establishment (article 2(5)(a)).
The rate is 22 per cent (article 17(1)(b)). Estonia and Indonesia have no tax treaty, so each country applies its own law. Ask an Indonesian tax adviser before you form or buy the company; we handle the Estonian side. The tax authorities decide on residence and tax.

Frequently asked questions
Does the extension cover both the address and the contact person?
Yes. It continues the registered address in Estonia and the licensed contact person for the next 12 months, at a combined price that is lower than ordering the two services separately.
What happens if I do not extend the address and contact person?
A contact person is entered in the register for a term; when the term ends, the data are removed from the register automatically (Commercial Register Act § 24). Without a contact person the registrar sets a time limit with a warning and may then delete the company from the register (§ 62).
Is my Estonian company taxed in Indonesia if I run it from Indonesia?
It can be. A body established or domiciled in Indonesia is a domestic taxpayer, and the Director General of Taxes determines a body's domicile according to the actual circumstances (Income Tax Law, article 2(3)(b) and 2(6)); a place of management in Indonesia of a foreign company is a permanent establishment (article 2(5)(a)). The analysis is not tax advice and not a ruling.
Can I order the company secretary service for a company I already own?
Yes. It is available on its own for any Estonian private limited company under our company services, and as an upgrade when you buy a ready-made company or form a new one.
