Tax and compliance calendar 2027 for companies in Latvia
This calendar lists every deadline that applies to a company in Latvia in 2027: 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.
Latvia's minimum monthly wage is expected to rise again on 1 January 2027, but the exact figure is still undecided: government multi-year planning assumed €820, while the Ministry of Welfare's updated calculation suggests €835. The Cabinet of Ministers typically finalises the following year's figure in the autumn budget round.
A draft amendment would let self-employed individuals who provide services only to other natural persons (no employees, turnover ≤ €25,000/year, not already a general micro-enterprise taxpayer) pay a simplified 10% tax, well below the current 25% general micro-enterprise tax rate, cutting red tape for very small service providers (tutors, hairdressers, personal trainers, etc.).
From this date cloud and data-processing providers may no longer charge customers for switching to another provider or for exporting their data (egress). Contracts must already allow termination and migration within 30 days, and providers must offer export in machine-readable formats.

A self-employed person (pašnodarbinātais) registered with VID as performing saimnieciskā darbība must file a quarterly report of their own mandatory state social insurance (VSAOI) contribution base and personal income tax (IIN), then pay the resulting contributions into the single tax account. This is separate from the employer-side monthly reports that only apply when the person has employees.

The Commission proposed replacing the Late Payment Directive with a regulation capping B2B and B2G payment terms at 30 days, making late-payment interest automatic and creating national enforcement authorities. The file has not progressed in the Council since 2024, so no date is fixed.
Does this calendar include EU-wide obligations, or only national ones?
Both. It combines every national deadline for this country with EU-wide regulations - such as the AI Act or NIS2 - that apply to companies here regardless of country.
How are recurring deadlines like monthly VAT returns shown?
Each recurring obligation (a monthly VAT return, a quarterly filing) is expanded into its actual due date for every month, quarter or year it applies, using the recurrence rule published on its own deadline page.
How current is this calendar?
Every entry links to its official source and shows a last-verified date. Dates can move, so always confirm against the official source before relying on one.
