Does this apply to me?

Two questions. The fixed-establishment rule is where most foreign businesses get it wrong.

Is your business established in Latvia (registered office, branch or fixed establishment)?

Do you issue domestic B2B invoices in Latvia?

Latvia: likely outside the issuing mandate — watch e-reporting / cross-border

VAT registration or trading alone, without a fixed establishment, usually keeps you outside Latvia's issuing obligation — but you may still face e-reporting or need to receive structured e-invoices. Confirm your establishment status.

Not in scope for Latvia

With no establishment and no registration or trade in Latvia, the mandate doesn't apply to you today. Revisit this if you open a branch, warehouse or start supplying into Latvia.

In scope — issue structured e-invoices in Latvia

As an established business issuing domestic B2B invoices, you must send them as compliant structured e-invoices. The mandate applies from 2028 (B2G already live since 2025). Set up your platform/format and test before you rely on it.

In scope to receive in Latvia

Even if you don't issue domestic B2B invoices, an established business must be able to receive structured e-invoices. The mandate applies from 2028 (B2G already live since 2025). Confirm your receiving capability first.
