Estonia OÜ via Xolo Leap — Filipino Remote Workers
Filipino remote workers with EU B2B clients form Estonia OÜs for reverse-charge VAT simplicity and the OECD-aligned 0% retained profit deferral. Xolo Leap runs the OÜ end-to-end for EUR 89/month.
Estonia taxes only distributed profits at 20% (rising to 22% in 2025) — retained profits stay at 0% corporate tax indefinitely.
Philippines side: TRAIN Law personal income tax 0-35% progressive applies to distributions received in Philippines; BSP Circular 984 tracks outbound investments above USD 60,000 aggregate; freelancer BIR registration for personal PH-source activity is separate from the OÜ.
