Latvia Launches Receipt Lottery to Promote Voluntary Fulfilment of Tax Obligations

Receipt lottery has been launched in Latvia to promote the voluntary fulfilment of tax obligations.

“There is no age limit to participate in the lottery. Children can also take part to learn that one ought always to take the receipt. In order to participate in the lottery, a receipt, cheque, or a ticket has to be registered on cekuloterija.lv by providing some information. No personal data is required – you only have to provide a phone number so that VID could contact you in case of a win. The winner would then have to come to VID and fill in an application to receive the prize. Only then will the winner be identified,” Anna Šapalova, the Project Manager of VID’s receipt lottery explained.

The results of the lottery will be available on VID and “Latvijas Loto” websites or live on the Superbingo Television program. The winner will also be notified by phone. The monthly prize will consist of 30,000 euros, whereas, the yearly prize will be 70,000 euros.
