For food and parcel couriers
Delivering for Bolt or Wolt? The tax office already sees your payouts.
Since 2024 the platforms report courier payouts to Latvia's State Revenue Service (VID). The question is no longer «will they find out» — it's whether you've declared. Vadi calculates your taxes and prepares the declarations — no accountant, from €9/month.
- Income from Wolt and Bolt payouts — in one clear place
- Fuel, phone, bicycle as expenses — a lower tax bill
- Quarterly social-contribution report and annual income declaration — ready to file

What a courier needs to know about taxes
1
Register as self-employed with VID
Courier work for a fee is economic activity. Register with the tax office (VID) as a self-employed person — free, online via EDS.
2
Food couriers — register with the PVD
If you deliver food, you must also register with the Food and Veterinary Service. Parcel couriers don't need this.
3
The platform reports your payouts
Once a year Bolt and Wolt send VID the amounts they paid you. A mismatch with what you declared is visible immediately — so keep your books straight.
What Vadi does for you
You're out on the road — Vadi does the tax maths in the background.
Expenses = lower tax
Fuel, phone, bicycle or car (with depreciation), gear — under the general regime, expenses are deducted from income and the tax drops. Snap a photo of the receipt; the fields fill in.
VAT on the Bolt commission
Bolt bills its commission from an Estonian company. A service received from the EU can trigger a VAT-registration duty (section 60) even below €50,000 — Vadi warns you so you don't miss it.
Contributions & annual return
The quarterly social-contribution (VSAOI) report and the annual income declaration (D3) — computed from your records, ready to file in EDS. The calendar reminds you of deadlines.
Works from your phone
Scan a receipt with your phone camera, enter a payout between rides. No computer needed, and no accountant needed.
MUN or the general regime
Vadi supports both. If your expenses are high (car, fuel) the general regime is usually cheaper; if low, MUN. Compare in the calculator below.

What taxes does a Bolt or Wolt courier pay?
Under the general regime: social contributions (VSAOI) of 31.07% on a chosen base (at least the minimum wage of €780 if your monthly income reaches it) plus 10% for pension insurance on the excess; if income is below €780, only 10% of the actual amount. On top of that, the annual declaration applies personal income tax of 25.5% after deducting paid VSAOI. The alternative is the micro-enterprise tax (MUN) of 25% of turnover, but with no expense deduction.
Does a courier have to register as self-employed?
Yes. Courier services for a fee are economic activity that must be registered with the tax office (VID). Registration is free and done online via EDS. Food-delivery couriers must additionally register with the Food and Veterinary Service (PVD).
Do I have to pay VAT on the Bolt or Wolt commission?
You might. The platform commission is often billed by a company registered in Estonia (e.g. Bolt Operations OÜ) under the reverse-charge note. When you receive a service from another EU country, section 60 of the VAT Act can require you to register for VAT and pay 21% on the commission — even if your turnover is below €50,000. Vadi flags and warns about this; confirm your exact situation with VID or an accountant.
MUN or the general regime — which is better for a courier?
It depends on your expenses. Under the general regime tax is calculated on profit (income minus expenses), so a courier with a car and fuel costs usually comes out ahead. MUN is 25% of all turnover with no deductions — simpler, but pricier when expenses are high. Compare both in our calculator with your own numbers.
How much does Vadi cost for a courier?
From €9/month (incl. VAT) — covering income and expense tracking, VSAOI and income-tax calculations, the annual declaration and the tax calendar. The first 7 days are free and no card is required. If you want camera receipt scanning and bank-statement import, that's the Pro plan.
Vadi isn't only for couriers. The same system works for every self-employed person and company in Latvia.
