Business Tax Deadlines in Lithuania 2026: The Complete Calendar

The monthly, quarterly and annual filing and payment dates a Lithuanian company has to meet in 2026, who each one applies to, and the exact day each falls on this year.

Nordlet Team · · 12 min read

A Lithuanian company with VAT registration and employees has four fixed monthly deadlines, one quarterly deadline and three annual ones. Each month: income tax withheld (GPM313) and the social insurance report (SAM) by the 15th, the VAT invoice registers (i.SAF) by the 20th, and the VAT return (FR0600) with the EU sales list (FR0564) by the 25th. Intrastat is due by the 10th working day. Advance corporate income tax is paid by the 15th of the last month of each quarter. Annually, the GPM312 income statement is due by 15 February, the financial statements are approved by 30 April and filed within 30 days, and the corporate income tax return (PLN204) is due by 15 June.

When a deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, it moves to the next working day. The tables below give the shifted 2026 dates. What each filing contains and the data it needs is in Lithuania's Compliance Stack for Developers.

The 2026 rates behind the payments

Tax 2026 rate
VAT, standard 21 %
VAT, reduced 12 % (new from 1 January 2026), 9 %, 5 %
Corporate income tax 17 %, with a reduced rate for small companies that meet the conditions
Personal income tax on employment income 20 %, 32 % above the annual threshold
Employee social insurance contributions 19.5 %
Employer social insurance contributions 1.77 % for an open-ended contract
Withholding tax on dividends 15 %

The full profile, including thresholds and the small-company conditions, is on the Lithuania tax page. Rate changes inside a year are tracked in the VAT rate reference described in the EU VAT engine guide.

Who is in scope for each line

  • VAT payer. Registration is compulsory once domestic turnover passes €45,000 in any 12 consecutive months, and voluntary below that. A registered company files i.SAF, FR0600 and FR0564 every month, including months with nothing to report.
  • Employer. Any company with at least one employment contract files GPM313 and SAM monthly and GPM312 annually. The 1-SD and 2-SD hire and dismissal notices to Sodra are event-driven, not calendar-driven: the 1-SD goes in before the employee's first day.
  • Intrastat. Only VAT payers whose intra-EU arrivals or dispatches in the current or preceding year exceeded the threshold Statistics Lithuania publishes for that year. Arrivals and dispatches are assessed separately, so a company can owe one form and not the other. Once in scope, a month without trade still needs a nil declaration.
  • Advance corporate income tax. Companies whose taxable income in the previous year exceeded the statutory limit. New companies are exempt in their first tax period.
  • Real estate tax. Companies that own buildings or structures in Lithuania, and companies that use real estate belonging to individuals under certain arrangements.

How Nordlet keeps the calendar

Nordlet derives the deadlines above for each company from the company's own facts: whether it is a VAT payer, whether it has employees, and whether its intra-EU trade has crossed the Intrastat threshold, which POST /v1/declarations/lithuania/intrastat/obligation reports per flow and year. The calendar shows each deadline with the period it covers and the shifted date.

Nine of the Lithuanian deadlines can be filed from the calendar itself. The File now button generates the file, sends it to VMI, Sodra or customs under the company's own certificate, and records the reference and the outcome on the deadline. A switch per deadline turns on automatic filing, which files a few days before the due date, never twice for one period, and asks the administration for the result afterwards. Certificates are uploaded once per system in Settings → Compliance, with a warning 30 days before expiry.

The one annual item that is not filed from the calendar is the financial statements: Registrų centras takes them only through its own interactive form, so Nordlet shows the figures and the user keys them in. The state of every filing in all 30 supported countries is listed on the filing support page.

Payments are not made by Nordlet. The VAT, GPM, Sodra and corporate income tax amounts come out of the computed returns, and the company pays them from its bank account by the same dates. The payments made can be recorded under Declarations → Tax payments, so the ledger and the returns agree.

FAQ

What happens if the 25th falls on a weekend?

The deadline moves to the next working day under the Law on Tax Administration. In 2026 this affects the January, April, July, October and December VAT deadlines, which fall on 26 January, 27 April, 27 July, 26 October and 28 December. Paying on the Friday before is always safe.

Is the deadline for GPM313 the same as for the GPM payment?

Yes. Both the return and the payment of income tax withheld are due by the 15th of the month following the payment of the income. The Sodra report and contributions follow the same date.

Does a company with no sales in a month still file FR0600 and i.SAF?

Yes. A registered VAT payer files both every month. A nil FR0600 and an i.SAF with no documents are still filings, and a missing one is treated as late.

When exactly are the annual financial statements due?

The general meeting must approve them within four months of the year end, so by 30 April 2026 for the 2025 year. The approved set is then filed with Registrų centras within 30 days of approval. For a company that approves on the last possible day, the 30th day is Saturday 30 May 2026, so the last working day to file is Friday 29 May. Companies that approve earlier file earlier.

Are Intrastat thresholds published for 2026?

Statistics Lithuania sets the reporting and statistical-value thresholds for arrivals and dispatches each year. Rather than copying a figure that may change, use the intrastat/obligation endpoint, which checks the company's actual intra-EU trade against the thresholds on file for the year and says whether a declaration is owed.
