What a self-employed accountant must file in Lithuania in 2026
This profile assumes a self-employed professional providing accounting or bookkeeping services, without employees, so it focuses on the tax and reporting calendar that applies to sole traders and small professional-services providers, plus any anti-money-laundering duties that apply to accountants specifically. It leaves out obligations tied to employing staff or operating in other sectors. If you run your practice through a company, or you also employ staff, check the company profiles instead.
