- Latvia is introducing mandatory e-invoicing and real-time reporting in phases, starting with B2G e-invoices already required.
- From January 1, 2026, e-reporting will be mandatory for government-related transactions, and voluntary B2B e-invoicing will be available.
- By January 1, 2028, all B2B invoices between Latvian-registered businesses must be electronic and submitted to the State Revenue Service in near real-time.
- The mandate applies to all Latvian-registered companies and self-employed individuals, but not to B2C or cross-border transactions.
- Invoices must use structured XML formats (EN 16931, PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0) and can be submitted via a government portal, certified providers, or direct transmission.
