This calendar lists every deadline that applies to a company in Latvia in 2026: national tax and reporting duties alongside EU-wide regulations - such as the AI Act, NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act - that apply across the whole EU.
Recurring obligations - monthly VAT returns, quarterly filings, annual reports - are expanded into their individual due dates for the year using the rule shown on each deadline's own page. This calendar does not shift dates that fall on a weekend or public holiday; always check the linked official source for the exact filing deadline.
Data last verified 9 September 2026. See the source cited on each deadline
Suppliers to Latvian state and municipal institutions must issue structured e-invoices (Peppol BIS 3.0 / EN 16931) and, since 1 January 2026, submit the e-invoice data to the State Revenue Service (VID) no later than five working days after sending. Delivery goes through the official e-address or a Peppol access point.
Details →The state minimum monthly wage for full-time work increased from €740 to €780 on 1 January 2026, affecting around 118,000 employees. Payroll, employment contracts and social-contribution calculations must use the new figure; the next increase is decided by the Cabinet in the autumn budget.
Details →| Date | Where | Regulation | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| EU-wide | Pay Transparency Directive | Pay Transparency: baseline duties (pay ranges, no salary-history questions, right to pay information) apply to every employer |
Directive (EU) 2023/970 requires every employer in the EU, whatever its size, to give job applicants the initial pay or pay range for the role before the interview or in the job ad, and bans asking applicants about their pay history. Workers also get the right to ask, in writing, for their own pay level and the average pay level by sex for people doing the same or equal-value work.
Details →Until mid-2026, parcels worth up to €150 sent to EU consumers from outside the EU were exempt from customs duty (VAT has already been due on them since 2021). Council Regulation (EU) 2026/382 removed that exemption and, from 1 July 2026, applies a flat transitional duty of €3 per item to such low-value consignments, ahead of full ad-valorem tariffs once the EU Customs Data Hub is operational (targeted around mid-2028).
Details →The Cosmetic Products Regulation's list of fragrance allergens that must be individually named on the label grows from about 26 to more than 80 substances, whenever present above 0.001% in leave-on products or 0.01% in rinse-off products. New cosmetic products placed on the market from 31 July 2026 must use the expanded list; stock already on the market before that date can still be sold until 31 July 2028.
Details →Directive (EU) 2024/1799 applies nationally from 31 July 2026. Manufacturers of products with EU repairability requirements (washing machines, fridges, dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, displays, phones, tablets, servers, e-bike batteries) must repair them at a reasonable price and time even outside the legal guarantee. When a consumer chooses repair under the guarantee, the guarantee is extended by 12 months. Sellers must offer repair when it is not more expensive than replacement.
Details →Users must be told when they interact with an AI system (chatbots, voice bots). AI-generated or manipulated images, audio, video and text must be marked in a machine-readable way, and deepfakes must be labelled. Since the same date national authorities can fine companies for most AI Act breaches.
Details →Regulation (EU) 2025/40 applies directly in all Member States. Packaging must be minimised (e-commerce parcels max 40% empty space), food-contact packaging with PFAS above limits is banned, every packaging type needs a conformity assessment and technical documentation, and producers must register for extended producer responsibility in each country where they place packaged goods. Further deadlines follow (harmonised labels 2028, recycled-content minimums 2030).
Details →Producers registered under Latvia's extended producer responsibility (EPR) system for electrical/electronic equipment and batteries must also submit an interim report to the State Environmental Service (VVD) covering the first half of the calendar year (1 January-30 June), by 31 August.
Details →Manufacturers of products with digital elements (hardware and software, including SaaS-connected devices and standalone apps) must report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe security incidents through ENISA's single reporting platform: early warning within 24 hours, full notification within 72 hours, final report within 14 days (vulnerabilities) or one month (incidents). It applies to products already on the market.
Details →Connected products (IoT devices, machines, vehicles, smart appliances) placed on the market from this date must be built so that the data they generate is easily, securely and free of charge accessible to the user, directly on the device where feasible. Since September 2025 users can already request their data and share it with third parties, and pre-contract information about generated data is mandatory.
Details →Employers with staff must submit a monthly "darba devēja ziņojums" to VID, reporting each employee's mandatory state social insurance (VSAOI) contribution base and the personal income tax (IIN) withheld for the previous reporting month.
Details →Latvia's corporate income tax is charged only when profit is distributed (e.g. dividends) or spent on non-business or other UIN-taxable items, not on an annual accrual basis, and the taxation period is the calendar month. In any month such a taxable event occurs, the company must file a UIN declaration and pay the tax by the 20th of the following month; months with no taxable event require no filing.
Details →VAT-registered businesses in Latvia that supply goods, or certain services under the general B2B place-of-supply rule, to VAT-registered customers in other EU member states must additionally submit a 'Pārskats par preču piegādēm un pakalpojumiem Eiropas Savienības teritorijā' (report on supplies of goods and services within the EU territory) to VID, alongside the regular PVN return. It lists each EU customer's VAT number and the value of supplies made to them in the period, and is one of the checks used to verify zero-rated intra-EU supplies.
Details →VAT-registered businesses in Latvia must submit their PVN declaration to VID through EDS and pay any VAT due within 20 days after the end of the taxation period. For most active VAT payers the taxation period is one calendar month, so the return and payment fall due by the 20th of the following month.

Details →Directive (EU) 2024/825 amends EU consumer-protection law (the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive and the Consumer Rights Directive) to ban generic environmental claims not backed by recognised excellent environmental performance (e.g. 'climate neutral', 'eco-friendly', 'green' used without substantiation), bans claims based purely on carbon-offsetting, and requires sustainability labels to come from a certification scheme or a public authority rather than being self-created. It also bans planned-obsolescence practices and requires clearer product durability/reparability information.
Details →Latvia's packaging natural-resource tax (dabas resursu nodoklis) currently lets companies self-report and pay tax on non-recycled packaging directly. From 1 October 2026, for plastic-containing packaging, that liability shifts to a licensed extended-producer-responsibility (EPR) scheme operator — companies placing packaged goods on the Latvian market must contract with such an operator or remain personally liable for the (often higher) non-recycled-packaging tax rate.
Details →Latvia transposed NIS2 through the Nacionālās kiberdrošības likums. Essential and important service providers had to register, appoint a cybersecurity manager and submit a first self-assessment by 1 October 2025; ICT critical-infrastructure owners must repeat the self-assessment annually, while other in-scope entities must repeat it at least once every 3 years. All in-scope entities must maintain minimum security measures and report significant incidents to CERT.LV.

Details →Companies liable for Latvia's natural resources tax (packaging placed on the market, batteries/tyres, resource extraction, emissions, etc.) must submit a quarterly DRN report to VID and pay the tax; taxpayers whose calculated annual tax is very low may instead report and pay once a year.

From the same date AI systems built to generate non-consensual intimate or sexual imagery are prohibited outright.
Details →Directive (EU) 2024/2831 must be transposed by 2 December 2026. Digital labour platforms face a rebuttable presumption that their workers are employees where the platform controls the work, must be transparent about automated monitoring and decision systems, keep humans in the loop for decisions like account suspension, and may not process certain personal data (emotions, private chats).
Details →Directive (EU) 2024/2853 must be transposed by 9 December 2026 and applies to products placed on the market after that date.

Public administrations must accept it for online services.
Details →Companies placing cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soy or wood (and derived products such as furniture, paper, leather, chocolate, tyres) on the EU market or exporting them must prove the goods are deforestation-free and legally produced, with geolocation of plots, and file a due diligence statement in the EU information system.
