Where and by which date to register true beneficiaries?<\/h2>\n

Amendments to the law stipulate that the true beneficiaries must be revealed until 1 January 2021<\/strong>. If the branch or representative office is registered in the Register of Enterprises of the Republic of Latvia, the information on the beneficial owners shall be submitted to this register, but if the representative office in Latvia is registered as a permanent representative office in the Register of Taxpayers, information shall be submitted to the State Revenue Service.<\/p>\n

When the requirement to register\u00a0beneficial owners\u00a0came into\u00a0force?<\/h2>\n

As of 1 July 2020, branches and representative offices of foreign entities registered in Latvia are obliged to register information on their beneficial owners. This obligation follows from the amendments to the Law on the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist and Proliferation Financing.<\/p>\n

Can the true beneficiaries not be reported?<\/h2>\n

In case the information on the true beneficiaries is not revealed within the term specified by law, the Register of Enterprises of the Republic of Latvia or the State Revenue Service will exclude the specific branch or representative office from the register maintained by them (Register of Representative Offices or Register of Taxpayers).<\/p>\n
