The Lithuanian parliament (Seimas) is currently considering draft Order 23-4588, which aims to introduce public Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting obligations in line with Directive (EU) 2021/2101. The draft Order specifies the required content of public CbC reports, allowing for temporary exclusions of certain information if its disclosure would seriously harm the commercial position of the concerned undertakings. Any excluded information must be clearly indicated in the report, along with a justification for its omission. However, information regarding tax jurisdictions listed in Annexes I and II of the EU’s non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes cannot be excluded.
The draft Order is set to become effective on 22 June 2023, with the reporting requirements applying to accounting periods beginning on or after 22 June 2024.
