- Latvia has proposed amendments to its VAT law to improve VAT application in e-commerce, defense-related transactions, and dealings involving excise goods by diplomatic missions.
- In e-commerce, the rules on distance selling and the calculation of the EUR 10,000 threshold would be clarified, and special VAT schemes would be refined.
- The changes would simplify VAT refund procedures for businesses on goods and services needed for relevant transactions.
- A 0% VAT rate would apply to supplies of goods and services under the EU’s SAFE defense-strengthening instrument.
- The stated aim is to ensure more uniform VAT rules across the EU and reduce administrative burdens for businesses.
