Special rules for applying personal income tax to Ukrainian civilians are laid down in section 8.3 of Law on Assistance to Ukrainian Civilians.
A Ukrainian civilian who is a non-resident for the purposes of the application of the Law “On personal income tax” (hereinafter in this section – Ukrainian civilian – non-resident) has the right to apply non-taxable minimum of EUR 250 per month, as well as personal income tax allowance for a dependent person – a minor child residing in the Republic of Latvia (Personal income tax allowance for a dependent person is EUR 250 per month).
For a Ukrainian civilian – non-resident who is salary taxpayer, the non-taxable minimum and the allowance for a minor child shall be applied by the employer.
An employer who, in accordance with a statement of the State Revenue Service, has the right to apply the non-taxable minimum and the allowance for a minor child to the income from paid employment obtained by a Ukrainian civilian – non-resident in the Republic of Latvia, at the place of disbursement of income shall apply the progressive personal income tax rate – 20% for income up to EUR 1667 per month and 23% for income exceeding EUR 1667 per month.
If a Ukrainian civilian – non-resident in Latvia receives only income from paid employment, the personal income tax withheld by the employer is final. This means that a Ukrainian civilian – non-resident will not have the obligation to submit an annual income return and make personal income tax recalculations, for example, when leaving Latvia.
