51 days from today

Date note: Re-verified 2026-09-09: vmi.lt/evmi/pelno-mokestis remains reachable but its deadline text sits behind collapsed JS navigation; independently confirmed instead via the Pelno mokesčio įstatymo 47 straipsnio text itself: "Avansinis pelno mokestis turi būti sumokėtas ne vėliau kaip kiekvieno mokestinio laikotarpio ketvirčio paskutinio mėnesio penkioliktą dieną" (no later than the 15th day of the last month of each tax-period quarter), matching the existing 15 Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec dates. The ~EUR 300,000 exemption threshold was not independently re-confirmed this session.

Every quarter (from March), due by the 15th. · Due 15 March, 15 June, 15 September and 15 December. Not required if prior-year taxable income was at or below approx. EUR 300,000, or in a company's first tax period -- verify the current threshold with VMI, as it is set by law and can change.

What changes

Lithuanian companies above a taxable-income threshold must pay advance corporate income tax in quarterly instalments (form FR0430), due by the 15th of the last month of each quarter. Companies whose taxable income in the preceding tax year did not exceed roughly EUR 300,000, and companies in their first tax period after registration, are exempt from advance payments.

Who is affected

Lithuanian companies (UAB and similar) whose prior-year taxable income exceeded the exemption threshold; does not apply to newly registered companies in their first tax period or to companies below the threshold, which likely covers many micro-sized (P1-type) businesses.

Sizes: small, medium, large · Sectors: All sectors

What to do

Check with VMI or an accountant whether your company exceeds the advance-CIT threshold for the current tax year; if so, calculate and pay the quarterly instalment via VMI's e-services by 15 March, 15 June, 15 September and 15 December.
