- Mandatory E-Invoicing Rollout: Latvia is implementing mandatory electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) in phases, starting with Business-to-Government (B2G) transactions on January 1, 2025, and extending to Business-to-Business (B2B) transactions on January 1, 2026. The e-invoicing system will utilize a centralized model aligned with EU standards, allowing structured invoices to be exchanged digitally.
- Objectives and Benefits: The initiative aims to enhance tax compliance, reduce the shadow economy, and improve operational efficiency for businesses. Benefits include increased accuracy, cost reductions, enhanced security, and better cash flow management for businesses, while the government gains real-time monitoring capabilities and improved auditing processes.
- Compliance Preparations and Penalties: Businesses must prepare for the transition by ensuring technical readiness, training staff, and complying with e-invoicing standards. Non-compliance can lead to significant penalties, including fines and VAT-related consequences, potentially impacting operational efficiency and reputational standing in the market.
