Common questions
Can I register voluntarily below the threshold?
Yes — voluntary registration is common for businesses wanting to reclaim input VAT or serving primarily other VAT-registered businesses.
What triggers registration with no threshold at all?
Intra-Community acquisitions and reverse-charge services to Latvian customers require registration regardless of turnover.
