EDS return counts as filed only with “Pieņemts” accepted status

A declaration or report sent through VID's electronic declaration system (EDS) counts as filed only once it carries the status “Pieņemts” or “Pieņemts precizējums”VID. Pressing the submit button is not the end of the filing: a document with the status “Iesniegts” or “Iesniegts precizējums” has been sent but has not yet reached the State Revenue ServiceVID, and only the accepted statuses confirm that the filing is completeVID.

A document with the status “Noraidīts” was successfully transmitted but VID did not accept itVID, so the filing obligation is not dischargedVID. The reason for the refusal is shown through the “Atbilde” button in the Actions column, and the same button carries the acceptance confirmation for documents VID has taken in. A filer who stops at the sending step and never checks the status risks learning only later that nothing was filed.

The remaining statuses likewise mean the document is not filed. “Nenoteikts” means the draft was only saved, “Gatavs iesniegšanai” means it passed its checks but was never sent, and “Kļūdains” means it contains errors that must be corrected and re-checked before submission is even possible. “Daļēji iesniegts” means the document was signed by a user without sole signing rights, so a further signature is still required before it can be sent at allVID. “Izskatīšanā” means the submitted document is under review.

The rule applies across the declarations covered by the filing and payment deadlines overview: monthly employer reports and income-payment notices, the annual personal income declaration that self-employed persons and sole proprietors, including farmers and fishermen, must file electronically through EDS, capital-gains reports, seasonal-worker reports, loan information and the other listed returns. Each keeps its own filing and payment dates set out in the deadlines tables, and a deadline is met only when the accepted status is reached in timeVID — a return still sitting at a sent, erroneous or partially-signed status on the due date misses itVID.

Filers should therefore verify the accepted status on every return before the deadline expires and correct rejected or erroneous documents at once. The accepted-status rule is stated in the VID filing-deadlines guidance; the meaning of each EDS status follows the VID informatīvais materiāls EDS dokumentu sagatavošana un iesniegšana of 5 December 2023, updated 22 January 2024.
