Exporting your PVN declaration

Updated 20 June 2026 3 min read

As a VAT-registered business, you submit a PVN declaration to the State Revenue Service (VID) every month or quarter through the Electronic Declaration System (EDS). fakts doesn't submit the declaration for you, but it generates a VAT summary that makes the filing accurate and fast.

What the export contains

The fakts VAT export provides a summary for a selected period (typically a month or quarter) covering:

  • Total transaction amounts broken down by VAT rate (21 %, 12 %, 5 %, 0 %).
  • Output VAT — the VAT you collected from clients on issued invoices.
  • Input VAT (priekšnodoklis) — VAT you paid to your suppliers, recorded as incoming invoices in fakts.
  • The net position — VAT payable or refundable for the period.

The export only reflects transactions recorded in fakts. If you have transactions outside the system (for example a paper receipt or a document from another tool), you'll need to add those figures manually in EDS.

Generating it in fakts

Open the VAT section in the sidebar. Select the period — month or quarter — and click Prepare summary. fakts calculates the figures from your issued invoices and registered incoming invoices for that period.

You can review the summary on screen before exporting — check that the numbers match what you expect. If something looks off, you can drill into individual transactions from the VAT view. When everything looks right, export the data in the available format or note the values to enter manually into EDS.

Using it with the EDS filing

A typical end-of-month workflow:

  1. Make sure all issued invoices and incoming bills for the period are entered in fakts.
  2. Open the VAT section and prepare the summary for the relevant month.
  3. Compare the summary figures against your records.
  4. Log in to the EDS portal (eds.vid.gov.lv) and fill in the PVN declaration using the fakts summary as your reference.
  5. Submit the declaration in EDS and save the confirmation.

The filing deadline is usually the 20th of the following month (or of the month following the quarter end). VID charges penalty interest on late payments, so plan ahead and leave yourself time.

If you made an error in a previous declaration, EDS allows you to submit a correction. fakts can't file corrections on your behalf, but you can generate a summary for any past period to help you calculate the corrected figures.
