Wat een micro-onderneming zonder personeel moet indienen in Letland in 2026
Dit profiel gaat uit van de kleinste bedrijfsvorm: een micro-onderneming (minder dan 10 medewerkers, tot € 2 miljoen omzet) zonder personeel op de loonlijst, waardoor verplichtingen die aan het in dienst hebben van personeel zijn gekoppeld buiten beschouwing blijven. Het omvat nog wel de terugkerende basisverplichtingen die bijna elk bedrijf heeft - btw- en andere belastingaangiften, het jaarlijkse financiële verslag - plus EU-brede regelgeving zoals de AI-verordening of de Cyber Resilience Act, die geldt hoe klein u ook bent. Neemt u uw eerste medewerker aan, of groeit u boven de micro-omvang uit, dan past een ander profiel beter.
Deze pagina gaat uit van een specifiek startprofiel: micro-onderneming zonder personeel, in Letland. Het is een startpunt, geen advies op maat - uw werkelijke verplichtingen hangen af van uw exacte sector, omzet en manier van werken.
