Small Tax Burden

Lithuania pursues business-friendly tax policy. Lithuania’s corporate tax is 15%, individual taxation (15%) is in line with similar countries, and the overall tax burden is one of the smallest among the EU countries.

Lithuania is located in the Baltic Sea Region, and has always been an active business partner with its neighbours – other Baltic Sea Region (BSR) countries – the Scandinavian states and Germany, as well as Poland, Latvia and Estonia. Lithuania’s trade with BSR countries makes up about half of all Lithuania’s foreign trade, and about 70% of FDI in Lithuania comes from BSR countries. Lithuania is politically stable and economically Free Market.

Lithuania became a fully-fledged NATO and EU member in early 2004, and on 21 December 2007 the country was accepted into the Schengen area.
