Administrative-court matters in Estonia are heard by the administrative courts (halduskohus) and, unlike in some neighbours, their fees sit in the same Riigilõivuseadus as the civil ones — § 60 — rather than in a separate statute. A general complaint is a low flat fee; a claim for damages or a tax-authority dispute is a capped percentage. (This is a divergence from Latvia, where administrative-court fees are governed by a separate act and are out of scope.) These are court fees only — Estonia has no statutory lawyer tariff, so advocates’ fees are agreed privately.
Administrative-court claim
A general complaint to the administrative court — challenging an administrative act or measure of a public authority (judicial review).
You file it to have an unlawful decision annulled, an act required, or unlawful conduct stopped, after the administrative channels are exhausted.
State court fee — § 60 lg 1. A flat €20 for filing a complaint with the administrative court — a deliberately low, access-to-justice fee.

An administrative-court action for damages (compensation / unjust enrichment) or a challenge to a tax authority’s action — the value-based administrative cases.
You file it when you seek money from a public authority (damages) or contest a tax decision, where the amount in dispute drives the fee.
State court fee — § 60 lg 2 / lg 4. 3% of the disputed sum, minimum €20, maximum €1,050. The floor applies up to a disputed sum of about €667; the €1,050 cap engages from €35,000 upward. Enter the disputed amount to see the exact figure.
