Highlight
Latvia has been fiscal territory since 2014. It operates a hardware-based fiscalization system under which the issuance of fiscal receipts is mandatory. While fiscal devices have to pass a certification procedure, a communication with the Tax Authority is required but indirect. The previous Latvian currency was replaced by the euro on 1 January 2014.

There is no direct communication with the tax authority; however, cash registers must be registered with the tax authority. Fiscal devices must pass a certification/homologation procedure approved by the State Revenue Service (VID).
Type of fiscalization: Hardware
