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

According to the data of the Ministry of Finance, between January and June 2026, the State budget and municipal budgets (excluding European Union and other financial support funds) received EUR 11,001.8 million or 7.7 % (EUR 789.8 million) higher revenue than in the same period of 2025.

The revenue collection for the months of January to June 2026 corresponds to the period of economic activity that took place between December 2025 and May 2026.

There was a 7.5% (EUR 607.8 million) increase in the State budget revenue as compared to the same period last year. A total of EUR 8,703.7 million was received between January and June, representing 50.3% of the approved annual revenue plan. The planned State budget revenue for 2026 amounts to EUR 17,314.4 million.

Revenue from taxes to the State budget amounted to EUR 8,107 million. This is by EUR 674.7 million, or 9.1% more than in January-June 2025.

Revenue from value added tax (VAT) amounted to EUR 3,832.8 million. That is by EUR 342.9 million (9.8%) more than in the same period of 2025. The increase was driven by an increase in domestic consumption between December 2025 and May 2026 compared to the same period a year ago, which led to an increase in the obligation to declare VAT.

State budget revenue from personal income tax (PIT) amounted to EUR 1,824.7 million. This is by EUR 208.2 million (12.9%) more than in January-June 2025. In total, EUR 3,618.7 million were received from this tax into the State budget and municipal budgets, which is by EUR 334.8 million (10.2%) more than in the same period last year. The increase in revenue from PIT was due to an increase in the payroll and an increase in the obligation to pay PIT on the basis of annual PIT returns for 2025.

Revenue from all excise goods for the January–June period of this year totalled EUR 1,090 million during January-June of this year, i.e. by EUR 88 million (8.8%) more than in the same period of 2025. Excise duties on energy products accounted for the largest share of the increase in excise revenue, with an increase of EUR 38.2 million compared to the same period last year. Accordingly, revenue from excise duties on ethyl alcohol and alcoholic beverages increased by EUR 28.7 million and on tobacco products by EUR 16.7 million. As of 1 January 2026, non-alcoholic sweetened beverages were subject to excise duty, which generated excise duty revenue of EUR 16.1 million. In May–June 2026, revenue was reduced due to the reduction in excise duty rates on diesel fuel and agricultural diesel, which had been in effect for two months starting on April 16.

Corporate income tax revenue totalled EUR 1,119.6 million, which is by EUR 54.2 million (5.1%) higher than in the same period of 2025 due to higher advance corporate income tax contributions resulting from the increase in the corporate income tax rate from 1 January 2026 (from 16% to 17%). In June, when the annual corporate income tax for 2025 was due, the amount of annual corporate income tax contributions was almost the same as a year ago due to a slowdown in the growth of taxable profits in 2025 and a higher share of the annual obligation paid in advance in 2025 than in previous periods. Revenue from corporate income tax was also reduced by faster use of the corporate income tax relief for investments in technological renewal and, before the restrictions in 2026 came into force, by an increase in the absorption of losses from other companies of the group in 2025.

Other tax revenue to the State budget amounted to EUR 239.9 million, i.e. by EUR 18.6 million (7.2%) less than during the months of January to June 2025, due to EUR 64.6 million lower revenue from the temporary solidarity contribution.

Other (non-tax) revenue, excluding European Union (EU) funds, to the State budget amounted to EUR 596.7 million, which is by EUR 67 million (10.1%) less than in January-June 2025. The decrease in other revenue was due to lower profit contributions by the Bank of Lithuania and the fact that revenue from taxes on road users and on the use of roads of national significance by means of oversized and/or heavy vehicles, which has been lost to the State budget since this year (as of the beginning of this year, the revenue from these taxes accrues to Via Lietuva AB).

* 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.
