Contract Types in Estonia
Natural Person contract
Courier partner is registered in the Tax office Employment Registry (EMTA) with a contract under the Law of Obligations (võlaõiguslik leping). That means you are not an employee of Wolt, but our partner.
Wolt pays income tax, unemployment insurance premium, contribution to funded pension (if a person joined the pillar), and social tax.
The gross amount of your earnings is shown in the Wolt Partner app. Courier partner receives the net amount to their personal bank account after all taxes have been paid by Wolt.
Company contract
The company, under which the courier partner is registered, will receive the gross amount in the company’s bank account. The company is then responsible for correct tax and salary payments. If the company is VAT registered, 22% VAT is added to the payout. If you expect to earn 40 000+ EUR in one year, you have to be VAT-registered.
If you use the LHV Entrepreneur account (LHV Ettevõtluskonto) please choose and sign a company contract. The gross amount will be transferred to the LHV Entrepreneur bank account and 20% income tax is deducted automatically. Wolt doesn't pay social tax and other taxes in this case.

Company name: LHV Ettevõtluskonto
