Lithuania Government Revenue
General government revenue as % of GDP GGR_NGDP
Lithuania's government revenue was 38.14% in 2025, ranked 46th globally. This represents a 0.3% decrease from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 1995–2025.
Overview
Lithuania's government revenue stood at 38.14% in 2025, a decline of +0.10% from 2024. The IMF projects 38.14% by 2025. Lithuania ranked 46th globally.
Lithuania’s government revenue has risen steadily over the 31‑year series, moving from a low of 30.77 in 1996 to a high of 38.24 in 2024, before slipping slightly to 38.14 in 2025, which places the country 46th globally. The upward trajectory reflects progressive tax reforms and expanding fiscal capacity after the post‑Soviet transition, with the 2024 peak representing the strongest revenue‑to‑GDP ratio since the mid‑1990s trough. By comparison, the United Kingdom recorded a slightly higher revenue share of 39.35, while Israel posted 37.42, underscoring that Lithuania now sits between these peers in fiscal performance. The modest 0.10‑point decline from the 2024 apex suggests that short‑term fluctuations, such as slower economic growth or temporary tax policy adjustments, may be influencing the figure. If structural reforms continue and economic growth accelerates, the revenue ratio is likely to resume its upward path, potentially narrowing the gap with the higher‑ranking peers.

The global economic slowdown, indicated by the slide in US futures and tech giants like Amazon and Intel, could indirectly reduce Lithuania's corporate income tax and VAT revenues by dampening export demand and domestic economic activity. Additionally, rising oil prices, due to Lithuania's reliance on energy imports, could further impact government revenue by increasing business costs and reducing consumer purchasing power, potentially lowering VAT and excise tax collections.
