Corporate Tax
Retained profits are untaxed, and a normal dividend is taxed at 20% corporate tax on the grossed-up profit (20/80). From 2026 a company owned only by individuals may choose 15% corporate tax on the dividend and withhold 6% personal income tax. 38 37
Dividend Withholding Tax
0% extra withholding when the 20% distribution tax has already been paid; a natural person does not pay personal income tax again on that dividend. Under the 2026 alternative regime, 6% is withheld. 38 37
Tax System
You are resident with a declared home in Latvia or 183 days in any 12 months, and residents are taxed on worldwide income. Non-residents are taxed only on Latvian-source income. 38
Highest Income Tax Bracket
33% on annual income above €105,300, after 25.5% up to that threshold, plus an extra 3% on income above €200,000. 36
VAT
21% standard. Reduced rates are 12% and 5%. 38
Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) Rules
Yes. A Latvian company that owns more than half of a foreign company pays corporate tax on its share when the arrangement is artificial. A tax-haven company is taxed from the first euro; others only if profit exceeds €750,000 and passive income exceeds €75,000. 40
Property Tax
Homes pay 0.2% of cadastral value up to €56,915, 0.4% to €106,715 and 0.6% above that; land and commercial buildings pay 1.5%, and a ruined building can be 3%. In 2026 Jēkabpils gives a 90% reduction to a resident household with three or more children. 38 43
Property Transaction Tax
A natural-person purchase pays a 1.5% land-register state fee on the higher of the price and the cadastral value (2% for a company, 0.5% for close family). Opening an apartment folio adds a €15 chancery fee. 39
Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads
No nomad tax holiday: a resident pays ordinary worldwide income tax. A remote-work D visa exists (2026 income test €4,538 a month, €90 fee, up to a year and once more), and many passports can visit for 90 days in any 180 without a visa. 36 41 42
