Teema: Clarification Requested: Definition of “Permanent Intermediation Activity” for Cross-Border Temporary Agency Work

Dear Annika,
I was directed to you by the Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority (TTJA) regarding a clarification on the regulation of temporary agency work in Estonia.
Our Icelandic company, Vinnuskipti ehf. (Swapp Agency), is registered in Estonia as a non-resident employer. We provide cross-border temporary agency work services from Iceland to foreign clients and, at present, we only employ individuals in Estonia on an occasional basis.
We do not have any establishment, office, or permanent operational base in Estonia. All management and administration remain in Iceland.
TTJA informed us that:
- a branch and MTR registration are required only when the activity is considered “permanent intermediation of temporary agency workers”, and
- no MTR notice is required when services are provided on a temporary, cross-border basis by an EEA undertaking, which appears to match our current setup.
To ensure full and correct compliance, we would greatly appreciate clarification on two points:
1. How is “permanent intermediation activity” defined under Estonian law?
Specifically, what criteria distinguish temporary cross-border service provision from permanent activity that requires establishing a branch in Estonia?
2. Does our current situation fall under temporary cross-border provision?
Our intention is to continue operating without any physical presence in Estonia and only employ individuals occasionally for foreign clients.
For completeness, our Estonian accounting partner confirmed that a notice of activity from a non-resident company can be submitted via notary, if at any point it becomes necessary.
We would appreciate your confirmation that our present cross-border, non-established activity does not require MTR registration or the establishment of a branch under the Commercial Code.
Thank you very much for your guidance and support.
Best regards,
Stefan
COO – Vinnuskipti ehf. (Swapp Agency)
