Prepare for Latvia’s 2025-26 E-Invoicing Mandate: New Rules for All Transactions

Latvia’s decision to mandate e-invoicing is aimed at modernizing financial processes, increasing transparency, and improving tax compliance. This move will help reduce administrative burdens and combat tax fraud, while companies benefit from lower operational costs, automated invoice processing, and fewer errors.

Starting January 1, 2025, e-invoicing will become mandatory for transactions with public sector entities. For companies not yet using digital invoicing, this will mean upgrading their invoicing processes, which could require investment in software and training.

A mandate for all B2B transactions will follow on January 1, 2026. Companies will need to ensure they have the right infrastructure in place, possibly integrating with existing ERP or accounting systems.
