When establishing a company in Estonia, you have the possibility to postpone the payment of the share capital until after the whole process of registration is completed. This may lead to a situation in which the company operates despite unpaid share capital. Therefore, before you decide to pay out a dividend make sure that the share capital had been fully paid.  Make sure you have met all the formal requirements The payout of dividend is made on the basis of the financial result shown in the annual report. That\u2019s the reason why the company\u2019s annual report has to be accepted and signed by all members of the board. In addition, make sure that the amount you wish to pay out does not exceed the retained\/not distributed profit shown in the company\u2019s annual report. Moreover, you should ensure that after the pay out of the dividend company\u2019s net assets will not fall below the value of the paid-in or minimum share capital \u2013 depending on which of these values is higher. If you met all the conditions mentioned above, you can proceed to the next step."}
