The Ministry of Finance has made further amendments to the Law on Value Added Tax (VAT), refining previous proposals and enhancing alignment with EU Directive 2022/542 on 27 January 2025.
The amendments include key updates such as the expansion of the special scheme for small enterprises, changes to the place of service provision rules, simplified VAT registration for international transactions, enhanced invoice requirements, and adjustments related to financial services.
The amendments are set to be adopted through an expedited procedure. If approved, the changes will take effect from 1 May 2025.
Earlier, Lithuania’s parliament (Seimas) has introduced a draft law amending the VAT Law to alleviate the VAT compliance burden on many small businesses and provide a tax break for B2C services, allowing them to exclude VAT from their pricing.
