If you intend to provide services and sell goods in Latvia and the EU, and your income does not exceed €50,000 per year, you do not have to register for VAT.
If you register for VAT, you will have to pay 21% VAT on your services or goods.
Requirements for compulsory registration in the VAT register:
- The total value of supplies of goods and services subject to VAT during the preceding 12 months has reached or exceeded EUR 50 000 (excluding the value of fixed assets and intangible investments supplied if such supplies are made once in a 12-month period).
- The value of purchases of goods in the EU, excluding VAT, in the current calendar year exceeds €10,000.
- in other cases
In order to register for VAT, an application must be submitted to the SRS EDS system or to the Register of Enterprises at the same time as the application for registration of a limited liability company.
The State Revenue Service shall examine the application within 14 days.
