E- residency avoid tax inversion

What's the "tax inversion"?

You can run a company in Estonia and pay yourself a salary in another EU country. What I won't recommend is to do all your sales using Estonian to invoice you own country residents. Tax office considers this as fraud

Unfortunately it's not a way to avoid to pay taxes locally. For some year ago we had this discussion already here on the forum, at this time it was poisslbe to use the e-residenct as an advantage to open bank accounts and a company, today it's a waste of time.
 
It is valid also if I travel a lot and I do not do any type of contract in my country of residence like the phone bill / electricity / rent ecc.. in this case do I have still to pay here the tax too ,is it less traceable ?

No, it's an e-residency, not an actual residency. You need actual residency if you want to do things involving taxes.
With the e-Residency they dont give you legal residency in Estonia with virtual office? I plan to work online as a sole proprietor and I travel out of my country of residence most of the year without doing here paper agreements ,I can pay only job tax in Estonia?

No, they don't give you legal residency in Estonia. You don't get a physical address or residence at all.

Have you done any research?

If you have a company in Estonia, the company and its income are subject to Estonian tax law. But that doesn't necessarily mean you can legally avoid tax in your home jurisdiction, even if you spend most of your time abroad. Speak with a local lawyer/tax adviser.

Company tax residency isn't guaranteed, this would largely depend on your home nation's CFC rules. Also, OP would do well to differentiate between personal and corporate tax residency
 
I have E-Residency in Estonia but for company formation I still await what Lithuania is offering from Jan. 1, especially regarding banking options. E-Residency is pretty perfect IMHO for nomads and non-CFC residents, as employment income from your Estonian-company is not taxed at all, only dividends at 25%. Zero share capital required at the start, and capital can be contributed with EMI like Transferwise. Costs to run it all inclusive around €600/year, I am intending to use virtualofficeinestonia.com.

That's the point, I belive there is only a handful around here that actually have this status.
