- Latvia is digitizing invoicing in phases: B2G e-invoicing is mandatory from January 1, 2025; e-reporting for government transactions is required from January 1, 2026; full B2B e-invoicing becomes mandatory from January 1, 2028.
- Invoices must use a structured XML format (EN 16931, PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0) and be submitted to the State Revenue Service (VID) in real-time.
- All Latvian-registered companies and self-employed individuals must comply; consumers (B2C) and cross-border transactions are not affected.
- Businesses can submit invoices via a government portal, certified providers, or direct transmission.
- The changes aim to improve tax compliance and audit processes through real-time reporting.
