What's the "tax inversion"?

You can run a company in Estonia and pay yourself a‌ salary in another EU country. What I won't recommend is to do all your sales‍ using Estonian to invoice you own country residents. Tax office considers this as fraud
 
E-residency doesn't mean anything except that you are pre-KYC'd which can sometimes make opening bank‌ account and forming a company in Estonia easier. It has no bearing on actual, physical‍ tax residency.
 
Unfortunately it's not a way to avoid to pay taxes locally. For some year ago‌ we had this discussion already here on the forum, at this time it was poisslbe‍ to use the e-residenct as an advantage to open bank accounts and a company, today⁠ it's a waste of time.
 
It is valid also if I travel a lot and I do not do any‌ type of contract in my country of residence like the phone bill / electricity /‍ rent ecc.. in this case do I have still to pay here the tax too⁠ ,is it less traceable ?
 
No, it's an e-residency, not an actual residency. You need actual residency if you want‌ to do things involving taxes.
 
With the e-Residency they dont‍ give you legal residency in Estonia with virtual office? I plan to work online as⁠ a sole proprietor and I travel out of my country of residence most of the⁤ year without doing here paper agreements ,I can pay only job tax in Estonia?
 
Forget it unless you can prove you are out of your countru more than 183‌ days a year!
 
No, they don't give you legal residency in Estonia. You don't‍ get a physical address or residence at all.

Have you done any research?

If you have a company⁣ in Estonia, the company and its income are subject to Estonian tax law. But that⁢ doesn't necessarily mean you can legally avoid tax in your home jurisdiction, even if you︀ spend most of your time abroad. Speak with a local lawyer/tax adviser.
 
Company tax residency isn't guaranteed, this would largely depend on your home⁢ nation's CFC rules. Also, OP would do well to differentiate between personal and corporate tax︀ residency
 
This is not a solution that is applicable in Europe any longer if it has‌ been at all! Just to make it easy for people that don't have read the‍ entire thread!
 
I have E-Residency in Estonia but for company formation I still await what Lithuania is‌ offering from Jan. 1, especially regarding banking options. E-Residency is pretty perfect IMHO for nomads‍ and non-CFC residents, as employment income from your Estonian-company is not taxed at all, only⁠ dividends at 25%. Zero share capital required at the start, and capital can be contributed⁤ with EMI like Transferwise. Costs to run it all inclusive around €600/year, I am intending⁣ to use virtualofficeinestonia.com.
 
That's the point, I belive there is only a handful around here that actually have‍ this status.
 
Ireland also worth looking. 12.5 - 6.25 Corporate tax and non-EU residents pay 0%
