Earlier, the parliament (Saeima) passed the Law on Amendments to the Accounting Law on 31 October 2024.
The amendments allow the Cabinet of Ministers to establish regulations for e-invoices by 1 May 2025. The intention to make e-invoices mandatory was outlined in the 2024-2027 plan to combat the shadow economy in the country.
