What Is a VAT Number in Lithuania?
A VAT number (Value Added Tax number) is a unique identification code issued by the State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) in Lithuania. It allows your company to:
- Charge VAT on goods and services
- Deduct VAT on business expenses
- Trade within the European Union legally and efficiently
- File tax returns and comply with Lithuanian law
Getting your VAT number is not just a formality—it’s your ticket to doing legal business across Lithuania and the EU.
Who Needs a Lithuanian VAT Number?
If you plan to conduct any taxable business activity in Lithuania, there’s a strong chance you need a VAT number.
You are required to get a VAT number if:
- You are a Lithuanian company whose annual revenue exceeds €45,000
- You are a foreign company providing taxable goods or services in Lithuania
- You sell goods online or through e-commerce platforms to Lithuanian customers
- You import or export goods to or from Lithuania
- You offer intra-community services within the EU
- You own property or earn passive income in Lithuania as a foreigner
Don’t wait until you’re fined—registering for a VAT number early keeps your business compliant and tax-efficient.
Benefits of Getting a VAT Number in Lithuania
Obtaining a VAT number in Lithuania offers more than legal compliance. It brings operational, financial, and reputational benefits to your business.
✔ Trade Across Europe with Confidence
A VAT-registered company can freely trade goods and services across the EU using the VIES system, increasing your market reach.
✔ Reclaim Input VAT
Businesses with a VAT number can deduct the VAT they’ve paid on purchases, equipment, and other operating costs.
✔ Build Business Credibility
Being VAT registered sends a strong message to partners, customers, and institutions that your business is legitimate and trustworthy.
✔ Avoid Fines and Legal Delays
Operate with peace of mind knowing you’re fully compliant with Lithuanian tax law.
