## Data-driven reporting to the Tax and Customs Board

Modern data-driven TSD declaration ensures accurate and up-to-date information, simplifying tax declaration submission to the Tax and Customs Board.

-   We free up time for entrepreneurs and accountants and minimize business contacts with the Tax and Customs Board.

## Data-driven reporting to Statistics Estonia

Salary and labor data is automatically transmitted to Statistics Estonia, freeing up time for entrepreneurs and accountants.

-   Data moves in machine-readable format directly from business software to Statistics Estonia – no more need to manually fill out questionnaires or make calculations.
-   Salary and labor reports are submitted automatically – forget time-consuming manual reporting
-   The reporting burden is reduced to a minimum, as Statistics Estonia uses the same source data for several different statistical tasks.
