Frequently asked questions

The prefix is only the letters at the start of an invoice number — INV, say, or your initials. The date and the sequence number are added for you.

The full number is built as PREFIX-YYYYMM-NNN. With the prefix BK, the first invoice of September 2026 is BK-202609-001 and the second BK-202609-002.

So you do not type the year, the month or the number into the prefix. The sequence restarts each month.

A new invoice is due 14 days out, because that is the term most small Latvian suppliers actually use.

You can change the date at any point — the day count in the “Payment terms” field recalculates itself.

A one-off migration of past bookkeeping — for example when moving off Excel or another program. Imported invoices are saved with the status “Paid” and a single line item each.

Create day-to-day invoices with “Create new invoice” so they get the right number, status and VAT calculation.

An electronic address is not an e-mail address. It is how your company is identified in structured e-invoices: a number from a public register, plus which register it came from. That second part is the address type.

• Company register number — your 11-digit registration number. Almost every Latvian company uses this one. When in doubt, pick it.
• VAT number — only if a partner has specifically asked to identify you by VAT number.
• GLN — an international 13-digit location number issued by GS1. If you do not have one, this is not your option.

If you neither send nor receive e-invoices you can leave this section empty — an ordinary PDF invoice does not need it.

Neither is required. For most self-employed people and small companies both stay unticked — tick one only if you are registered with VID for that regime.

• “VAT payer” — tick it if you are in the VAT register. Invoices can then carry a VAT rate, and the VAT return appears in your reports.
• “Microenterprise” — tick it if you pay microenterprise tax. The quarterly MUN return then appears in your reports.

If you are unsure about VAT, the “Tax settings” section of your account settings has a “Check the register” button. It checks your registration number against the EU VAT register (VIES) and ticks the box for you.

Microenterprise status has no searchable public register, so you tick that one yourself. If you cannot remember, it is visible in your EDS account.

Since 1 January 2026 the SRS no longer accepts a password — neither in the portal nor in the API. The connection needs a key you create in your own EDS account:

1. Sign in to EDS with Smart-ID or eParaksts.
2. Open Iestatījumi → API atslēgu pārvaldība and press “Izveidot”.
3. Under “Tips” choose API sertifikāts (no expiry, recommended) or API atslēga (valid for up to 90 days).
4. Under “Tiesību apgabali” tick “EDS API (tajā skaitā dokumentu un e-rēķinu API)”. Leave “CESOP API” unticked.
5. In “Nosaukums” type something like Uzskaiti.lv — it is only a label for you.
6. “Derīguma termiņš” applies only to an API key. Leave “IP adrese” empty.
7. Press “Izveidot” and copy the value straight away — EDS shows it only once.
8. Paste the value into Uzskaiti.lv under account settings → “VID EDS Connection Settings”.
9. Finally, in EDS open Iestatījumi → Servisu saskarne API and tick the consent that this user represents the company.

No. The key is stored encrypted and is never shown back — not even to you. That is why the field is always blank.

Whether the connection exists is shown at the top of the section: with a key stored you get a green “EDS is connected” notice. To replace the key, just enter a new value and save.

“VID EDS reports” shows only the reports that follow from your tax settings. If you are not VAT registered, for instance, no VAT returns are listed.

• Annual income declaration and the self-employed VSAOI report — for individuals and the self-employed.
• Annual report (gada pārskats) — for legal entities (SIA, AS).
• Microenterprise tax return — if you ticked microenterprise status.
• VAT return — if you ticked VAT payer status.

The top of that page lists “What you have to file, and by when” with the nearest deadlines. If a report you need is missing, press “Show all” — the filter is a convenience and blocks nothing.

Most likely yes. Try signing in — if that works, your e-mail is confirmed.

The link is single-use. If it was opened twice (a mail client may have opened it in advance), the second visit used to show an error even though the account was already confirmed. That is fixed. If signing in still fails, request a new confirmation e-mail from the sign-in page.

Not yet. Bank synchronisation is in development. The plan is to import a bank statement and match payments to invoices so the “Paid” status sets itself.

For now you mark an invoice paid with one click in the invoice list.

Click your profile circle in the top right — that opens a menu with account settings, payments and “Sign out”.
