The law on electronic invoicing in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia is taking its steps, although each country has its own specific pace and characteristics. If your company invoices in some of these countries, we explain how the regulations work, their exchange systems and the filing time required by law.
We also indicate the dates to keep in mind, as well as the electronic invoice formats in the Baltics.
Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia have adopted different approaches to the implementation of the electronic invoicing, although everyone agrees on the importance of integrating international standards such as Peppol to ensure interoperability between systems.
While Latvia is preparing for its transition in 2025 and 2026, Lithuania continues to move forward with its centralized model and Estonia offers a more flexible option for companies, allowing for gradual adaptation to electronic invoicing. All of these systems are designed to facilitate business transactions and improve fiscal control, with the perspective of strengthening the digital economy in the region.

The evolution of these new regulations reflects the commitment of the Baltic countries to innovation and modernization of their tax systems, while offering companies a safer and more efficient environment in which to operate. It should be said that this is an opportunity for companies to modernize their billing systems or their ERPs, improving the workflow of the Accounts Payable, Finance, Accounting departments, etc., optimizing processes and automating many tasks that continue to be done manually.
