Lithuania’s State Tax Inspectorate (STI) announced on 29 January 2025 that the 1995 treaty with Belarus was formally terminated.
Lithuania announced the termination of the treaty by publishing Law No. XV-103 in the Official Gazette on 22 January 2025.
This follows after the Lithuanian parliament passed the law to terminate the 1995 tax treaty with Belarus on 17 December 2024.
Earlier, the government approved a draft law to terminate the treaty with Belarus on 13 November 2024.
Effective 1 June 2024, Belarus will suspend several provisions of the treaty.
The treaty’s termination will go into effect from 1 January 2026. From that date, residents of Lithuania and Belarus will be taxed by the national legislation of Lithuania and Belarus without the restrictions outlined in the double taxation treaty (DTA).
