The City of Tallinn has decided to return sales tax from excise goods. According to the stock exchange notice published on 10 May 2016, disputes continued over non-excise goods – proceeding of refund requests of sales tax submitted by Kaubamaja AS and Selver AS took place in Tallinn District Court, and AS Viking Motors, AS TKM King and OÜ TKM Beauty Eesti planned to appeal against the decision of 9 May 2016 of Tallinn District Court to the Supreme Court.
