What is the process for deleting a legal person from the Estonian commercial register?

Once it has been determined that a legal person should be deleted from the commercial register, the registrar will submit a written request for consent from all relevant parties and authorities. If no claims have been made against the legal person and no tax control is being carried out, consent cannot be refused. If consent is not received within ten working days, it is deemed to have been granted. The registrar will then publish a notice regarding the deletion of the legal person from the register at least three months before deletion takes place. The legal person will also be notified by email about its impending deletion from the register. If a petition for deletion is not submitted upon completion of liquidation of a company, the registrar has the right to delete the person from the register on its own initiative.
