What a tutor needs to know about taxes
1
A side gig must be registered too
Regular private lessons or training for a fee are economic activity — even alongside salaried work. Registration with the tax office (VID) is free, online via EDS.
2
Seasonal income — a flexible VSAOI rhythm
Fewer lessons in summer? Social contributions (VSAOI) are due only for months in which income reaches the minimum wage (€780); in the others you pay 10% of the actual amount for pension insurance. Vadi tracks the thresholds for you.
3
Low expenses — a simple choice
If you have almost no expenses (teaching materials, an occasional room), MUN is often a good fit — 25% of turnover, no receipts. If you rent a hall and buy equipment, compare it with the general regime.
What Vadi does for you
You run the lessons — Vadi does the tax maths in the background.
Rent and equipment as expenses
Hall or room rent, equipment, teaching materials, licences — snap a photo of the receipt and the fields fill in by themselves. Under the general regime it all lowers your tax.
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.

MUN or the general regime

Do I have to declare private lessons if I also have a day job?
Yes. Regular private lessons for a fee are economic activity that must be registered with the tax office (VID), even if your employer already pays taxes on your salary. Payroll taxes and self-employed taxes are two separate things — Vadi handles the self-employed side.
What taxes does a tutor or coach pay?
Under the general regime: social contributions (VSAOI) of 31.07% on a chosen base in months when income reaches the minimum wage (€780), plus 10% for pension insurance on the excess; if income is lower, only 10% of the actual amount. In the annual declaration, personal income tax (IIN) of 25.5% applies to profit after deducting paid VSAOI. The alternative is the micro-enterprise tax (MUN) of 25% of turnover.
My income is seasonal — busy winters, empty summers. What about taxes?
That's exactly what the self-employed rules are built for: VSAOI is calculated month by month and quarter by quarter on actual income, so you don't pay the full rate in empty months. Vadi computes each quarter precisely and reminds you of the deadline.
MUN or the general regime — which is better for a tutor?
For tutors with low expenses, MUN is often the simplest and perfectly adequate route. If you rent a hall, buy equipment or drive a lot, the general regime with expense deduction can work out cheaper. Compare both in our calculator.
How much does Vadi cost for a tutor?
From €9/month (incl. VAT) — 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.
Vadi isn't only for tutors. The same system works for every self-employed person and company in Latvia.
