With the start of income declaration, news from VMI: announces what overpayments can be refunded
Lithuanian residents must declare their income by May 4, 2026, with various specific criteria for who is required to do so.
In Lithuania, the income declaration process for the year 2025 has officially begun, affecting over 950,000 residents. The State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) has emphasized the necessity for citizens to verify their submitted income data meticulously as many third parties have already provided their information. Deadlines and details regarding this submission are crucial as they will guide residents in adhering to the legislative framework surrounding income declaration.
The VMI has outlined specific categories of individuals who are required to file income and property declarations by May 4, 2026. These include those who engaged in individual activities, even in instances where no income was generated. Additionally, anyone who has received gifts valued over 2,500 euros from sources other than family must also declare this information, alongside those with high-interest financial gains or who have sold significant assets like vehicles or property.
Furthermore, the VMI has started issuing refunds for tax overpayments, with clear instructions and timelines for residents to expect these refunds. The message advocates that citizens should take advantage of the potential refunds available to them and emphasizes the importance of compliance with the tax declaration requirements to prevent any possible financial discrepancies or penalties in the future.
