Renting Out Your Property in Latvia? Here’s What You Need to Know about your legal and tax obligations!

Key Landlords' duties:


  • Sign a rental agreement – A written contract is necessary for legal protection.


  • Pay a 10% tax on rental income – This applies to individuals renting out property.


  • Declare the rental activity to the Latvian tax authority - VID within five (5) days of signing the lease

Why is this important?

  • If rental activity is not declared on time, the 10% tax rate may not apply, and higher tax rates could be imposed.

  • Compliance with tax regulations helps avoid penalties and ensures that rental activities are legally recognized.
