Lithuania

Covered by Complyance

Lithuania is an EU member in the Baltic region with a centralized public procurement system and progress toward digitized VAT compliance. A mandatory B2G e-invoicing platform (SABIS) has been in place since mid-2017. Plans for a phased B2B mandate under EU ViDA reforms are underway, including a future e-invoice issuance requirement and digital reporting.

E-invoicing

Status
Mandatory
Format
EN 16931‑compliant e‑invoices (Peppol BIS 3.0 / UBL 2.1 or CII) via SABIS platform. No national CIUS extensions.
Infrastructure
SABIS portal (General Account Administration Information System), integrated with Peppol, available via portal, API, or provider network.
Model
Post‑audit; public bodies must accept compliant e‑invoices; issuance is mandatory for suppliers, but no clearance/validation beforehand.

E-reporting

Status
No real-time VAT reporting mandate; public procurement e‑invoices handled by SABIS, but structured invoice-level reporting not required beyond existing usage.
Format
Not defined beyond the e-invoice format used within SABIS; digital VAT returns remain aggregated.
Scope & deadline
No phased e-reporting mandate yet; potential B2B reporting alignment may follow ViDA timeline (see EU adoption schedule).
