Anything that includes child investment account exemptions

In “Investor Toomas tunnis”, tax trainer and investor Peeter Pärtel talked about how to make the most of the tax exemption provided for by law for children and how to maximize the income of your offspring.

According to him, money can be given to the child in order to lend it on. At the same time, Pärtel opens similar ways in the show to increase the child’s profit above the income tax-free minimum.

There is also talk about which transactions can be made with the child’s money and which cannot. For example, a common mistake made when investing in a child is to place the money received in the child’s account from outside the parents in the markets.

“If the child doesn’t earn enough to optimize taxes, it’s the parent’s undone work”

Business day on the air: there is a gray area in the flurry of trendsetting investment hype

In the program “Äripäev eteris” it was discussed whether and what responsibility should be borne by the influencers of the financial world who give investment advice, advertise investment products or give recommendations on social media where to put money or simply talk about their investment journey.

The studio found that everyone is still responsible for their own investment decisions, but frequent speakers on investment topics should also feel their responsibility. Even when reading investment tips or stock recommendations in a newspaper, you have to realize that it is not direct investment advice for investing your money.

Startup experts: Planet42 seemed like a business that was walking on a knife edge from the start

The business model of Planet42, which rents cars in South Africa, was similar to a normal leasing business, which operated in a market with very high risks and needed more and more money for growth, said Gerri Kodres, founding partner of the venture capital fund Specialist VC, in the program “Kuum tool”.

On the show, Allan Martinson and Kodres discussed at length why, for example, investors’ faith in Digital Sputnik’s business model disappeared and whether it is not possible to successfully grow a start-up company focused on production in Estonia. There was also a longer discussion about the risks of Planet42, the possibility of pulling the business out of the hole and the prospects of the investors who lent money to it.

Äripää opinion leader: There are no such restrictions in Lithuania as in Estonia

Why is Lithuania better than Estonia? Or indeed, is there at all? From the opinions of the last year, it seems that things are significantly better in the south than here by the Gulf of Finland.

There is a lot of optimism in Lithuania, says Kaimo Kuusk, the ambassador in Vilnius. “But this is the topic of the last two or three years. Previously, I left Lithuania.”

But it’s not just a matter of mood or attitude, some things are indeed better and easier in Lithuania.

“It is much, much easier to bring in foreign labor in Lithuania than here,” emphasizes Kuusk, who says that Lithuanians do not have such a quota, which in Estonia limits the distribution of work visas to people from third countries to about 1,300 people a year.

In the program “Äripää opinion leader”, however, Kuusk also talks about other things that Lithuania should do better. And what Estonia can learn from.

Journalist in the morning program: Our economy is bad

The growth potential of our economy has always been three percent, but according to Äripää analyst Kristjan Pruul, it has dropped to two.

“The economy is bad in the sense that our growth potential has always been three percent. This is no longer the case. We have an economy that is now two percent, which means we have landed against the glass ceiling or against war. The way forward from here on is very difficult,” Pruul said. .

In the morning program, Bruul also touched on the expected inflation rate and tax policy in the following years.
