Due to the introduction of the euro in Latvia, each capital company must carry out a nominal capital (changes in the share capital to the euro). Companies that had not entered the denomination by 30 June 2016, by applying to the Commercial Register Authority any changes to the records of the Commercial Register or registration of documents (adding to the registration file), must at the same time apply for changes in the share capital to the euro.

We point out that, according to the Commercial Law, members/shareholders have the right to participate and vote at the meeting remotely or to vote before the meeting. Read more in the Explanatory to Remote Participation in Meetings of Members, Shareholders and Members.

If it is decided to re-establish the activity of a capital company, an application for denomination will also be submitted at the same time as this application;
