Steuer- und Compliance-Kalender 2027 für Unternehmen in Lettland
Dieser Kalender listet jede Frist auf, die 2027 für ein Unternehmen in Lettland gilt: nationale Steuer- und Meldepflichten zusammen mit EU-weiten Regelungen - etwa dem AI Act, NIS2 und dem Cyber Resilience Act -, die in der gesamten EU gelten.
Wiederkehrende Pflichten - monatliche USt-Voranmeldungen, vierteljährliche Meldungen, Jahresberichte - werden anhand der auf der jeweiligen Fristenseite angegebenen Regel auf ihre einzelnen Fälligkeitstermine im Jahr aufgeschlüsselt. Dieser Kalender verschiebt keine Termine, die auf ein Wochenende oder einen Feiertag fallen; prüfen Sie für den genauen Abgabetermin immer die verlinkte offizielle Quelle.

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.
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.
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.
Employers must pay both the employee's and the employer's share of state mandatory social insurance contributions (VSAOI), together with the personal income tax (IIN) withheld from staff, into the single tax account by the 23rd of the month following the reporting month.
Private Unternehmen, die gesetzlich verpflichtet sind, Kunden mit starker Authentifizierung zu identifizieren – Banken, Zahlungs- und Kryptounternehmen, Telekommunikationsanbieter, Energie- und Versorgungsunternehmen, Versicherer, Gesundheitsdienstleister, Verkehrsunternehmen und sehr große Online-Plattformen – müssen die EU Digital Identity Wallet akzeptieren, wenn ein Nutzer sie anbietet, zusätzlich zu ihren bestehenden Methoden.
Die Ökodesign-Verordnung für nachhaltige Produkte (EU) 2024/1781 ermöglicht es der Kommission, Anforderungen an Haltbarkeit, Reparierbarkeit, Rezyklatanteil und Informationen produktgruppenweise festzulegen, jeweils mit einem digitalen Produktpass. Die ersten Rechtsakte (Stahl, dann Textilien, Reifen, Aluminium, Möbel) werden 2026-2028 erwartet und gelten nach einer Übergangsfrist. Seit dem 19. Juli 2026 dürfen große Unternehmen zudem unverkaufte Kleidung und Schuhe nicht mehr vernichten.
Die Kommission hat vorgeschlagen, die Zahlungsverzugsrichtlinie durch eine Verordnung zu ersetzen, die Zahlungsfristen im B2B- und B2G-Geschäft auf 30 Tage begrenzt, Verzugszinsen automatisch anfallen lässt und nationale Durchsetzungsbehörden schafft. Das Dossier ist im Rat seit 2024 nicht vorangekommen, ein Datum steht daher nicht fest.
Enthält dieser Kalender auch EU-weite Pflichten, oder nur nationale?
Beides. Er vereint alle nationalen Fristen für dieses Land mit EU-weiten Regelungen - etwa dem AI Act oder NIS2 -, die unabhängig vom Land für Unternehmen hier gelten.
Wie werden wiederkehrende Fristen wie monatliche USt-Voranmeldungen dargestellt?
Jede wiederkehrende Pflicht (eine monatliche USt-Voranmeldung, eine vierteljährliche Meldung) wird anhand der auf ihrer eigenen Fristenseite veröffentlichten Wiederholungsregel auf ihren tatsächlichen Fälligkeitstermin für jeden Monat, jedes Quartal oder jedes Jahr, in dem sie gilt, aufgeschlüsselt.
