In business and daily legal practice, a common question arises: if a contract or law specifies a deadline "by August 5th"—does it expire at the end of the business day (5:00 PM), at 11:59 PM, or with the closing of banking hours? Being late by even a few minutes can lead to severe legal and financial consequences. In the latest feature on the Izdevniecība iŽurnāli – iFinanses, iTiesības, iBizness, iAudio portal, Kristaps Leonards Limbergs, Senior Lawyer at BDO Latvia, breaks down the rules and practical application of deadline calculations under Latvian civil law. 👉 Read the full analysis (in Latvian): https://lnkd.in/deDzWdhF

A landmark judgment has been delivered in the field of tax law. The Latvian Regional Administrative Court has annulled a decision by the State Revenue Service (SRS/VID) which denied a VAT refund to a company registered in another EU Member State. In BDO Latvia's latest insights article, Jānis Zaļais, Sworn Attorney at BDO Law, breaks down the legal arguments of the case and explains why this ruling serves as a vital safeguard for the EU single market. The court clearly reaffirmed that tax authorities cannot withhold VAT refunds based on purely formal or administrative errors if the substantive (material) criteria for the refund have been met. Under the fundamental principle of VAT neutrality, the tax burden must not fall on businesses operating within the EU internal market. 👉 Read the full analysis by Jānis Zaļais here: https://lnkd.in/dHMMMed5
