   Before

   Tax is triggered only when profits are distributed as dividends, at 20 percent.

   After

   Tax is triggered only when profits are distributed as dividends, at 22 percent from 2025 onward (raised from the historic 20 percent; the former 14 percent reduced rate for regular distributions was abolished in the same reform, and a planned further increase to 24 percent was cancelled).

   Why: The Estonian distribution tax rate was stated using the stale pre-2025 20 percent figure without noting the increase to 22 percent, the abolition of the 14 percent reduced rate, and the cancelled further increase to 24 percent.
