E-Invoice LV E-rēķini

01 What is E-rēķins?

  • E-rēķins is structured electronic invoice that Latvia is gradually making mandatory for transactions between companies and public institutions. The legislation also provides for the mandatory submission of data on certain categories of electronic invoices to the State Revenue Service of Latvia (VID).
  • E-rēķini are based on the European standard EN 16931 and the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 specification, using the UBL 2.1 XML format.
  • Docura allows you to send and receive e-invoices directly from/to your accounting software (ERP). To send E-rēķini through Docura, you don't even need to integrate your ERP system with the Docura platform.

02 When do E-rēķini become mandatory?

  • From 1 January 2025 — mandatory electronic invoices for transactions with state and municipal institutions in the cases provided by law (B2G).
  • From 1 January 2026 — mandatory submission of data on the relevant electronic invoices (B2G) to the State Revenue Service of Latvia (VID).
  • From 1 January 2028 — mandatory electronic invoices between Latvian companies (B2B).
