The Estonian Tax System is made up of the following:

goes into the Social Security Fund which finances state pensions and social
welfare. This tax is not detucted from wages/salaries, but paid by the
employer.
Personal Income Tax: 22% paid on earned income (except for tax free
minimum) by all people, it is called proportional income tax and is equal for
people with different income.
Value Added Tax: 18%, one of the government's main sources of income,
paid by people when they buy any goods. It is not noticiable because prices
already include it.
Excise Duties: imposed on alcohol, tobacco, petrol etc. to limit the use of
these goods.
