Lithuania: planned mandatory domestic B2B e-invoicing and reporting via SABIS
Date note: Target date from the Commission country factsheet; legislation not yet adopted – B2B e-invoicing remains voluntary. B2G via SABIS mandatory since 2024
What changes
Lithuania is scoping a nationwide structured B2B e-invoicing model (expected 5-corner: exchange via Peppol plus reporting to the state SABIS platform) targeted for 1 January 2028 to align with ViDA. Invoices to public bodies must already go through SABIS in EN 16931 format.
Who is affected
All Lithuanian VAT-registered businesses issuing B2B invoices once adopted; public-sector suppliers already.
Sizes: micro, small, medium, large · Sectors: All sectors · Applies if: We invoice other businesses (B2B); We sell to public bodies (B2G)
What to do
Follow VMI announcements and the draft law. Adopt Peppol-capable invoicing software now and use it for B2G invoices via SABIS so the B2B switch is a configuration change rather than a project.
