Lithuania’s parliament (Seimas) has recently proposed an alternative draft bill for the phased increase in the value-added tax (VAT) registration threshold, which would take effect on 23 February 2025.

The current threshold of EUR 45,000 would be raised incrementally over the coming years—first to EUR 60,000 in 2026, then EUR 70,000 in 2027 and ultimately reaching EUR 85,000 by 2028.

Earlier, Lithuania’s parliament was considering a proposal to raise the VAT registration threshold from EUR 45,000 to EUR 60,000.

Under the new rule, businesses in Lithuania would only need to register for VAT if their annual turnover surpasses EUR 60,000. Once this threshold is exceeded, VAT will apply to all goods and services responsible for the increase, starting from the month it occurs.

If the proposal is approved, the changes will be implemented on 1 January 2026.
