Lithuanian Tax ID Registration – Fast, Legal, and Hassle-Free with AM Law

If you’re planning to live, work, study, or run a business in Lithuania, obtaining a Lithuanian Tax Identification Number (Tax ID or TIN) is an essential step. This unique number connects you to Lithuania’s tax system and is required for a wide range of legal and financial activities.

At UAB “AM Law”, we make the Tax ID registration process simple, quick, and stress-free—whether you’re an individual, a company owner, or a foreign investor. Our team of multilingual legal experts helps you navigate Lithuanian bureaucracy with ease.

What Is a Lithuanian Tax ID (TIN)?

A Tax Identification Number (Tax ID or TIN) in Lithuania is known as the Asmens identifikavimo numeris (for individuals) or Mokesčių mokėtojo kodas (for legal entities). It’s a unique numeric code used by the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) to identify taxpayers.

Who Needs a Lithuanian Tax ID?

  • Lithuanian citizens and residents
  • Foreign nationals living or working in Lithuania
  • Students, employees, and digital nomads
  • Non-resident individuals with income in Lithuania
  • Foreign companies operating or trading in Lithuania
  • Business owners establishing a Lithuanian company

Whether you’re relocating, investing, or hiring staff, having a Tax ID is required to comply with Lithuanian tax law.

Why You Need a Tax ID in Lithuania

A Lithuanian Tax ID is more than just a number—it’s the key to participating legally in the country’s financial and legal systems.

You need a TIN for:

  • Filing personal or corporate income taxes
  • Signing employment contracts
  • Registering a business or opening a company
  • Buying or selling property in Lithuania
  • Accessing healthcare and social security services
  • Opening a bank account
  • Applying for residence or work permits
  • Receiving invoices or declaring VAT

Whether you’re a private individual or an enterprise, you can’t do business in Lithuania without it.

Types of Tax IDs in Lithuania

The Lithuanian Tax ID system is tailored to different taxpayer categories. At AM Law, we help you determine which ID is right for your situation and manage the application process from start to finish.

1. Individual Tax ID (for Private Persons)

Applies to:

  • Lithuanian nationals
  • EU/EEA nationals
  • Non-EU residents
