Viimastel aastatel on Eestis vähenenud füüsilisest isikust tegutsejate hulk, samal ajal kui piiratud vastutusega vormid ja lihtsustatud maksurežiimid on laienenud; senine pilt ei selgita, kas muutus peegeldab tegelikku ettevõtlusaktiivsuse kahanemist või vorminihet. Käesolev töö täidab selle lünga, käsitledes 2019–2024 arenguid maakondade ja tegevusalade lõikes ning seost rahvastikumuutuse ja osaühingute juurdekasvuga.
Töö eesmärk oli kirjeldada ja tõlgendada FIE-de taseme jaotuse ning ettevõtlustulu koondnäitajate muutusi Eestis aastatel 2019–2024.
Analüüsiti riiklikke sekundaarandmeid (Statistikaamet, Siseministeeriumi rahvastik, MTA E-vormi koondandmed). Võrdlus tehti maakondade ja tegevusalade lõikes, normaliseerides näitajad 10 000 elaniku kohta, ajagraafikuid ja ristvõrdlusi kasutati kahe hüpoteesi kontrolliks. Tulemused näitavad FIE-de üldist kahanemist ning tiheduse langust ka kasvava rahvaarvuga kohtades. E-vormi järgi vähenes esitajate arv, ent deklareeritud ettevõtlustulu kogusummad ja keskmine tulu kasvasid; põllumajanduses koondusid mahud väiksema tegijate ringi kätte. Tulemused on kooskõlas rahvusvaheliste tähelepanekutega, et madala püsikuluga tegevused jäävad FIE vormi, kuid kasv ja riskide hajutamine soodustavad liikumist piiratud vastutuse alla.
Edasised uuringud peaksid siduma registrid mikro-tasemel, et kaardistada tegelikud vormiüleminekud ja maksurežiimide mõjud piirkonniti. Praktiliselt on tulemusi võimalik kasutada halduskoormuse vähendamise, juhendatud üleminekutee kujundamise, regionaalse teenuskatvuse ja seire-mõõdikutega.
In recent years, the number of sole proprietors in Estonia has declined, while limited-liability forms and simplified tax regimes have expanded; existing statistics do not clarify whether this reflects a genuine fall in entrepreneurial activity or a shift in legal form. This study addresses that gap by examining developments from 2019 to 2024 across counties and industries, and by relating them to demographic change and growth in limited liability companies. The aim was to describe and interpret changes in the level and distribution of sole proprietors and in aggregate entrepreneurial-income indicators in Estonia during 2019–2024. The analysis uses national secondary data (Statistics Estonia, Ministry of the Interior population statistics, and Estonian Tax and Customs Board E-form aggregates). Comparisons are made by county and industry, indicators are normalised per 10,000 residents, and time-series and cross-sectional contrasts are used to test two hypotheses. The results show a general decline in the number of sole proprietors and a fall in density even in locations with growing populations. According to the E-form, the number of filers decreased, yet total entrepreneurial income and the average per filer increased; in agriculture, volumes became concentrated among a smaller group of operators. These findings align with international evidence that low fixed-cost activities tend to remain in the sole-proprietor form, whereas growth and risk diversification encourage movement to limited liability. Further research should link registers at the micro level to map actual form transitions and the regional effects of tax regimes. Practically, the findings can inform measures to reduce administrative burden, design a guided transition pathway, strengthen regional service coverage, and develop monitoring metrics.
