VAT and micro company tax are separate things. You must register as a VAT payer when you reach turnover of 30,000 lats in any 12 successive months. Under that it's not mandatory.

As a self-employed person, you can choose to register as a fixed income tax payer, if your annual income does not exceed 10,000 lats. This way, you pay the tax on your entire business income (i.e. no costs can be deducted) , but the rate is much lower. In fact, maximum income tax you can pay whilst eligible is 500 lats. You must pay social security tax as usual.
With micro company you pay fixed tax of 9%, which includes both social security payments and income tax, and, again, no costs can be deducted. However, in this case your cannot receive salary over 500 lats a month. There may be other details and restrictions, but this is to give you a general idea. ▲ Collapse
