extraordinary general meeting of the society&#8217;s members on January 9, 2026, a decision was made to dismiss the previous board and elect a new board, as well as to approve amendments to the statutes. Former board members of the cooperative society submitted an application contesting the registration of the board change and the statutory amendments. The applicants claimed that the decision was made in violation of the number of votes specified in the statutes and that the minutes incorrectly stated their position as \u201cChairman of the Board,\u201d although most were only board members. The Register concluded that it is not within its competence to verify the actual existence of members&#8217; voting rights or the circumstances of the meeting, as this is a matter for the court. It was also found that the society&#8217;s statutes contained contradictory provisions regarding the number of votes required to dismiss the board; therefore, these parts were deemed non-existent. Consequently, the general principle was applied that a decision is to be made by a simple majority of the members present, which was observed in this case. The Chief State Notary recognized that the error in the job title in the minutes was not significant and did not affect the clear expression of the meeting&#8217;s will. Therefore, it was decided not to annul the previous decision on the board change and statutory amendments, and to recognize the appointment of the new board members as lawful.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW152859389 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6,\"335559738\":120,\"335559739\":120,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-268e18c elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"268e18c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"biedribas-darbibas-izbeigsanas-lemuma-atcelsana-pec-valdes-sastava-sakartosanas\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6><span class=\"TextRun SCXW40217751 BCX8\" lang=\"LV-LV\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW40217751 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\" data-ccp-parastyle-defn=\"{\"ObjectId\":\"2adaac41-52e5-5bec-b074-aed592229426|1\",\"ClassId\":1073872969,\"Properties\":[469775450,\"1st level (heading)\",201340122,\"2\",134234082,\"true\",134233614,\"true\",469778129,\"1stlevelheading\",335572020,\"1\",134224900,\"true\",469777841,\"Aptos\",469777842,\"Times New Roman\",469777843,\"Times New Roman\",469777844,\"Aptos\",469769226,\"Aptos,Times New Roman\",335551547,\"2057\",335559740,\"240\",201341983,\"0\",335559739,\"120\",335559738,\"120\",335551550,\"6\",335551620,\"6\",335560102,\"0\",134245418,\"true\",469775498,\"Normal\",201342446,\"1\",201342447,\"5\",201342448,\"1\",201342449,\"1\",201341986,\"1\",268442635,\"22\"]}\">Annulment of the decision to terminate an association&#8217;s activities<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW40217751 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\"> after regularizing the board composition <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW40217751 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">(<\/span><\/span><a class=\"Hyperlink SCXW40217751 BCX8\" href=\"https:\/\/lemumi.ur.gov.lv\/lv\/2026\/2026-gada-galvena-valsts-notara-lemums-nr-1-5n-63\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW40217751 BCX8\" lang=\"LV-LV\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW40217751 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">Decision No. 1-5n\/63<\/span><\/span><\/a><span class=\"TextRun SCXW40217751 BCX8\" lang=\"LV-LV\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW40217751 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">)<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW40217751 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{\"134245418\":true,\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6,\"335559738\":120,\"335559739\":120,\"335559740\":240}\"> <\/span><\/h6><p><i><br>Decision adopted on April 29, 2026  <\/i><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">An apartment owners&#8217; association submitted a request to annul a previously adopted decision to terminate the association&#8217;s activities.

Lease agreements are mainly concluded for 12 months, and in some cases for 5 years. The possibility of issuing one invoice for the entire 12-month period is being considered. Therefore, the applicant wishes to clarify whether such an invoice may be issued and whether it complies with the requirements of the Accounting Law and the Value Added Tax (VAT) Law.   <\/p>\n<p>In its response, the SRS states that accounting regulations do not prohibit issuing one invoice for a longer period. However, according to the VAT Law, issuing one tax invoice for a 12-month period is permissible and does not violate the regulation of Section 32 of the VAT Law if the transaction corresponds to what is specified in the fourth paragraph of this section. Conversely, in cases where a service is provided continuously over a long period, including a real estate lease service for 12 months, but it is not covered by the fourth paragraph of Section 32 of the VAT Law, the regulation of the third paragraph of this section is applicable. Namely, the period of service provision may not be longer than six months; therefore, a tax invoice must be issued at least once every six months, meaning at least two tax invoices must be issued in a 12-month period.     <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47aa9cb elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"47aa9cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"vid-uzzina-pvn-normu-piemerosana-transfertcenu-korekcijam\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6><span class=\"TextRun SCXW1092324 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\" data-ccp-parastyle-defn=\"{\"ObjectId\":\"2adaac41-52e5-5bec-b074-aed592229426|1\",\"ClassId\":1073872969,\"Properties\":[469775450,\"1st level (heading)\",201340122,\"2\",134234082,\"true\",134233614,\"true\",469778129,\"1stlevelheading\",335572020,\"1\",134224900,\"true\",469777841,\"Aptos\",469777842,\"Times New Roman\",469777843,\"Times New Roman\",469777844,\"Aptos\",469769226,\"Aptos,Times New Roman\",335551547,\"2057\",335559740,\"240\",201341983,\"0\",335559739,\"120\",335559738,\"120\",335551550,\"6\",335551620,\"6\",335560102,\"0\",134245418,\"true\",469775498,\"Normal\",201342446,\"1\",201342447,\"5\",201342448,\"1\",201342449,\"1\",201341986,\"1\",268442635,\"22\"]}\">SRS <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">binding ruling<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">:<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\"> <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">&#8220;Application of <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">VAT <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">norms <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">to <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">transfer <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">pricing <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">adjustments<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">&#8220;<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\"> (<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\"><\/span><\/span><a class=\"Hyperlink SCXW1092324 BCX8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vid.gov.lv\/lv\/media\/34640\/download?attachment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW1092324 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">Binding Ruling<\/span><\/span><\/a><span class=\"TextRun SCXW1092324 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW1092324 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">)<br\/><br\/><\/span><\/span><\/h6><p><em>Published on May 6, 2026.  <\/em><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The applicant produces gas springs for related companies and in 2025 issued invoices for transfer pricing adjustments to companies in Sweden, Denmark, and the United Kingdom.

whom a court claim may be brought with malicious intent in connection with their activities in the public interest. Such a claim is brought to prevent or restrict this person&#8217;s activities in the public interest or to punish the person for it, usually using a superiority of financial resources or other types of influence, rather than to genuinely defend one&#8217;s infringed or contested civil rights or legally protected interests in court. The law specifies signs that may indicate the bringing of such a claim. If a claim has been brought against a person in connection with their activities in the public interest and the court has initiated a civil case, then the law provides protection options for this person, for example, asking the court to order the plaintiff to pay security in the amount of reasonably foreseeable litigation costs. Additionally, the law increases penalties for the dishonest use of rights in court, and the court will be able to apply a fine for bringing a malicious claim.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element
