What Vadi does for you

You create — Vadi does the maths in the background.

Invoices and fees in one place

Invoice in Latvian or English, add your fees. Your monthly picture and profit are always in view.

Gear lowers your tax

Camera, computer, software — under the general regime they lower your tax. On Pro, pricey gear is written off over time and Vadi does the maths.

Returns ready

The social-contribution report and the annual income return — built from your records, ready to file in EDS.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to understand accounting?

No. You issue invoices and log expenses; Vadi calculates your taxes and prepares the returns. When something needs filing or paying, the calendar reminds you.

Does a photographer or musician have to register economic activity?

If you regularly work for a fee directly with clients — usually yes. The royalty regime only covers payouts through collective-management organisations. Registering with VID is free and done online via EDS.

My income is irregular — how do contributions work?

You pay full contributions only for months when income reaches the minimum wage; in smaller months — 10% of the actual amount. Vadi works it out for each quarter.

Can I deduct my camera and gear?

Yes, under the general regime. Expensive gear is written off over several years (fixed-asset tracking — Pro plan), small purchases and subscriptions right away.

How much does Vadi cost?

From €9/month (+ VAT): invoices, tracking, tax calculations, returns and the tax calendar. The first 7 days are free, no card needed. Receipt scanning and fixed assets are on the Pro plan.

Vadi isn't only for creatives. The same system works for every self-employed person and company in Latvia.
