Frequently Asked Questions
What is the VSAOI?
VSAOI (Valsts sociālās apdrošināšanas obligātās iemaksas) is Latvia's mandatory social insurance contribution. The employee pays 10.5% and the employer pays 23.59%. Together they fund the state pension, disability benefits, maternity and sickness pay, and unemployment insurance.
What is the non-taxable minimum?
Latvia's neapliekamais minimums is a non-taxable income threshold of approximately €3,600/year in 2025. It's been gradually increasing as part of tax reforms and is expected to rise further. The allowance reduces the income tax base but does not affect VSAOI, which applies to full gross.
Why is the top rate 31%?
Latvia introduced the 31% top bracket in 2018 as part of a tax reform that also raised the lower brackets' thresholds. The same €78,100 threshold is used for both the VSAOI cap and the 31% rate: a deliberate design that creates a natural discontinuity where SS stops but the top income tax rate starts.
