- Lithuania’s State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) updated its guidance on input VAT deduction, clarifying eligibility, exclusions, and rules for domestic and foreign taxpayers.
- Registered VAT payers can generally deduct input VAT, but certain groups (e.g., those registered only for intra-EU acquisitions, special e-services, or small business schemes) are excluded.
- Non-registered persons exceeding the VAT threshold can recover VAT by filing a specific return; foreign entities can claim deductions for taxable transactions in Lithuania.
- The guidance covers self-assessed VAT, reverse charge, capital contributions, asset transfers, and intra-EU acquisitions, and allows taxpayers to waive deduction rights for future VAT management.
- The update aligns Lithuanian VAT practice with European Court of Justice rulings, emphasizing the fundamental and immediate right to deduction.
