Collection of revenue to the State budget and municipal budgets in January-August

According to the data of the Ministry of Finance, in January–August 2026 the State budget and municipal budgets (excl. European Union funds and other financial support) received EUR 14,382 million or 8.7% (EUR 1,157.1 million) more revenue than in the same period of 2025.

Collection of revenue in January–August 2026 matches the period of economic activity performed from December 2025 to June 2026.

The State budget received 8.8% (EUR 917.9 million) more revenue than in the same period last year. Total revenue received in January–August is EUR 11, 392.5 million, representing 65.8 % of the approved annual revenue plan. The State budget revenue planned for 2026 makes up EUR 17,314.4 million.

Tax revenue received to the State budget made up EUR 10, 681.9 million. This is EUR 973.1 million or 10% more than that in January–August 2025.

The received value added tax (VAT) revenue amounted to EUR 5, 267.6 million. This is EUR 507.7 million (10.7%) more than in the same period of 2025. The growth was driven by an increase in domestic consumption from December 2025 till June 2026, compared to the same period of the previous year, which resulted in an increase in the declared VAT liability.

The State budget revenue derived from the personal income tax (PIT) amounted to EUR 2,450.2 million. This is EUR 280.9 million (12.9%) more than in January-August 2025. Total revenue from this tax received to the State budget and municipal budgets made up EUR 4,857.6 million, which is EUR 451.9 million (10.3%) higher than in the same period last year. The growth of revenue from PIT was driven by increasing payroll and payable VAT liability based on annual VAT returns for 2025.

The revenue from all excise goods received in January-August this year made up EUR 1,505.2 million, i.e. EUR 123.8 million (9%) more than in the same period of 2025. The revenue derived from excise duty on energy products was EUR 37.5 million higher than during the same period last year. Accordingly, the revenue received from excise duty on ethyl alcohol and alcoholic beverages was EUR 40.5 million higher, and from excise duty on tobacco products – EUR 33.6 million higher. Since 1 January 2026, non-alcoholic sweetened beverages were subject to excise duty and the amount of revenue derived from excise duty on them made up EUR 23.9 million. In May–July 2026, revenue was subdued by excise duty rates on diesel fuels and agricultural diesel reduced for two months since 16 April 2026.

EUR 1,113.2 million was received from the corporate income tax. This is EUR 60.5 million (5.8%) more than in the same period of 2025 due to higher advance corporate income tax contributions as a result of the corporate income tax rate increased (from 16 to 17%) from 1 January 2026. In June, after the expiry of the period for payment of the annual corporate income tax for 2025, the amount of received annual corporate income tax contributions was almost the same as a year ago due to slowed growth of taxable profit in 2025 and higher than in previous periods annual liability portion paid in advance in 2025. Also, revenue from the corporate income tax was subdued by more rapid use of the corporate income tax relief for investments in technological renewal and increased absorption of losses from other group companies in 2025 before limitations coming into force in 2026.

Other tax revenue received to the State budget made up EUR 345.8 million, i.e. EUR 0.2 million more than in January–August 2025.

Other (non-tax) revenue, excluding European Union (EU) funds, received to the State budget amounted to EUR 710.6 million, i.e. EUR 55.2 million (7.2%) less than in January–August 2025. The decrease in other revenue was driven by lower profit contributions of the Bank of Lithuania and no more income from road user fees and taxes on large and/or heavy vehicles on roads of national importance (as income from these fees and taxes goes to Via Lietuva AB as of the beginning of this year).
 

Collection of revenue to the State budget in January–August 2026

* Depending on the type of tax or income, revenue collection is characterised by seasonality (due to different payment schedules, consumption habits, statutory circumstances), therefore, the proportion of revenue collected relative to the annual plan varies among different taxes.
