Latvia: VAT (PVN) return and payment due by the 20th
Elke maand, uiterlijk de 20. · Monthly taxation period (and this monthly recurrence) applies if taxable turnover exceeds €50,000 (current or prior year), there is EU cross-border trade, VAT-group membership, or during the first 6 months after VAT registration. Otherwise the default taxation period is 1 quarter (or, on request, 6 months for turnover ≤ €10,000/year), with the return then due by the 20th of the month after the quarter/half-year instead of monthly.
Wat verandert er
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.
Voor wie geldt dit
Any Latvia-registered VAT payer whose taxable turnover exceeded €50,000 in the current or preceding year, who trades goods/services cross-border within the EU, belongs to a VAT group, acts as a fiscal representative, or is in the first 6 calendar months after VAT registration — in practice most actively trading VAT-registered companies.

Wat u moet doen
File the PVN declaration via VID EDS and pay any VAT due into the single tax account (vienotais nodokļu konts) by the 20th of the month following the taxation period. Re-check your taxation period (month/quarter/half-year) at the start of each year, since crossing the €50,000 turnover threshold or starting EU cross-border trade switches you to monthly filing.
