TimelineB2G live since 2025 · B2B postponed to 1 Jan 2028

Who is in scope

All subjects of the Accounting Law registered in Latvia. No single mandatory transport channel: eAdrese, Peppol access points and other mutually agreed methods are all acceptable (email is permitted but officially discouraged). B2C is out of scope.

Key dates

  • 1 Jan 2025 Structured e-invoices mandatory for G2G, B2G and G2B — Latvian-registered entities invoicing budget institutions.
  • 5 Jun 2025 Saeima adopts Accounting Law amendments postponing the B2B obligation by two years, from 1 Jan 2026 to 1 Jan 2028.
  • 1 Jan 2026 Obligation to submit e-invoice DATA to the State Revenue Service (VID) begins for G2G, B2G and G2B transactions.
  • 30 Mar 2026 Voluntary B2B e-invoice submission via the eAddress (eAdrese) system opens.
  • 1 Jan 2028 Mandatory structured e-invoicing for all B2B transactions between Latvian-registered businesses, with near-real-time data submission to VID.
What practitioners get burned by

Latvia is the correction case: a great many trackers still show 1 Jan 2026 for Latvian B2B. That date was killed by the 5 June 2025 Accounting Law amendments and moved to 1 Jan 2028. The Budget and Finance Committee explicitly rejected a 2027 compromise. What DID start in January 2026 is the VID data-reporting duty on the B2G side only.
