Personal income tax rates

PIT at a 20% rate is applied to income amounts not exceeding EUR 114,162 per calendar year in 2024 and at a 32% rate for the exceeding part for:

• employment-related income
• payments to the members of the Board or Supervisory Board
• income derived under copyright agreements (when it is received from the company that is also the employer of individual), and
• income under civil agreement received by a manager of small partnership who is not a member of such small partnership.

Income from profit distribution (e.g. dividends) is taxable at a flat PIT rate of 15%.

Individual activity income is taxed depending on the amount of income received. PIT calculated at the 15% flat rate on taxable income is reduced by applying a PIT credit, calculated according to special formulas (effective rate may vary from 5% to 15%). Please see Business income in the Income determination section for more information.

Other income not specified above is taxed at a PIT rate of 15% if income amounts do not exceed EUR 228,324 per calendar year. A 20% PIT rate is applicable to income exceeding this threshold.

Local, state, or provincial PIT rates

There are no local, state, or provincial PIT rates applicable in Lithuania.
