Episode 5: Taxes! Oh, Taxes!


Listen Later

In this episode of the Feel and Act Money podcast we, Maria Lasprilla and Danusia Cerqueira, along with our guest Kaili Virma, delve into the emotional and practical aspects of taxes, particularly in the context of Estonia.

We discuss the fears and misconceptions surrounding taxes, the importance of education in overcoming these fears, and the specific tax obligations for residents and e-residents in Estonia. The conversation also covers common mistakes people make with taxes, the benefits of understanding tax changes, and the various business structures available in Estonia, including the advantages of e-residency.

We emphasize the need for transparency and education in financial management, particularly for immigrants and digital nomads.
