A company called "Drošs skurstenis" ("Safe Chimney"), registered in the Kaugurciems area of Valmiera municipality, has left the state budget with unpaid taxes exceeding €203,000. The debt is now being pursued through Latvia's Economic Affairs Court.
History of the debt
According to available information, the company's financial situation had grown increasingly difficult over time. As the debt mounted, the owner responded by registering a new company, effectively continuing business activity under a different legal entity.
A link to Estonia
At a later point, the company's website came to list the name of a business entity registered in Estonia, suggesting a connection to a company operating across the border. Meanwhile, the unpaid tax debt in Latvia remains uncollected.
The case has reached the Economic Affairs Court, which handles serious commercial offences and related financial disputes. The exact next steps in the proceedings, and any potential liability for those involved, have not yet been disclosed.
