LatviaLatvia e-invoicing

Latvia: e-invoices to public bodies must also be reported to VID within 5 working days

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.

Use accounting software or a Peppol provider that generates EN 16931 e-invoices and pushes the data to VID automatically. Register your e-address and confirm each public customer's e-invoice channel. Check that invoices meet the mandatory field list in Cabinet Regulation No. 749.

Update payroll settings and any contracts that reference the minimum wage. Check hourly rates for part-time staff and the minimum social-contribution base. Watch the 2027 budget decision in autumn 2026 for the next figure.
