Monday, 16 June, is the due date for payment of the first part of motor vehicle tax

So far, two-thirds of all taxpayers have paid the tax. Approximately 140 000 private individuals and just over 20 000 companies still have to pay the amount required. “Although there are still a few days until the due date for payment, we recommend paying the amount necessary as soon as possible to avoid tax arrears and the associated interest obligation,” said Madis Laas, Head of the ETCB’s Income Tax Department. 

Due to the spreading scam e-mails pretending to come from the ETCB or other state authorities, the ETCB advises customers to look at their tax notices and pay taxes in the ETCB’s official e-services environment. In order to sign in to the e-services environment, go to ETCB’s website www.emta.ee/en and select “E-services”. Once signed in, you can open the tax notice and pay the tax by navigating to Taxes – Motor Vehicle Tax – Motor vehicle tax notices. On the page that opens, you can open the tax notice, see an overview of claims and information about payment.

The amount of tax in a motor vehicle tax notice includes the annual tax for all the vehicles in the name of the owner or authorised user. Sign in to e-MTA to open tax notice.

Laas asks vehicle owners to make sure that at least 50% of the tax amount is transferred to the e-MTA prepayment account by 16 June at the latest. “It is possible to transfer the full amount of tax to the pre-payment account. Taxpayers who do not have the required amount in the pre-payment account yet are sent reminders via text messages and emails. On the day after the due date for payment of the tax, the required amount will be paid automatically from the funds in the prepayment account," Laas said.
