On 31 October 2024 the Latvian parliament passed amendments to the Accounting Act requiring that invoices be issued as structured electronic invoices. E-invoicing will be mandatory for transactions between businesses and the public sector (B2G) from 1 January 2025. E-invoicing will also be mandatory between Latvian-registered businesses (B2B) from 1 January 2026.

Why is the e-invoicing mandate being introduced?
What will the e-invoicing requirements be?

What are the channels for e-invoicing?
How will these changes affect businesses?
Next steps and how to prepare for the upcoming changes.
