Without a valid forest inventory you cannot fell, cannot apply for support, and cannot reliably value the forest. It lasts 20 years, but in practice the data ages faster. Here is when an inventory must be renewed, what it costs, and why its year is the first thing to check before a deal.
Selling cirsma is not a capital gain — it is income from the use of property, taxed at 10 %. Cirsma and harvested roundwood are two different transactions with 25 % and 50 % expense allowances, so the effective burden is 7.5 % and 5 %. Five scenarios with numbers and links to the tax authority's own guidance.
Forest land is not a building plot. Before you put a house on it or turn it into a field, you have to deforest it legally: a competent authority's permit plus compensation to the state. We break down the Cabinet Regulation No. 889 formula, why growing forest elsewhere cuts the bill many times over, and show two calculations with real numbers.
99,489 ha of mature spruce in Latvia's private forests sit inside the bark beetle's working range. Regional damage rates differ by 4.6×. What VMD data shows and what owners need to do before spring.
A forest reaches the saw in one of two ways: it hits the statutory felling age, or it hits the felling diameter. This guide lays out the age table by species, explains the diameter route, and why the pine 30 / spruce 26 / birch 25 cm figures you find online were struck down in 2024 — and how to check whether a specific stand can be felled now.
A company that buys standing timber and fells it itself is, from 30 December 2026, almost always the operator under EUDR. Which regime applies depends on its size: a small firm files one simplified declaration, a medium or large one files full DDS with coordinates for every plot.
From 30 December 2026 timber cannot be placed on the EU market for the first time without an entry in the EU Information System. For a forest owner everything turns on one question: who is the operator in the deal — you or the buyer. We walk through the regulation and the Commission's guidance.
