Overview

Lithuania’s tax revenue as a share of GDP reached 22.29 percent in 2025, placing the country 28th in the world and matching its all‑time peak for the 33‑year series compiled by the World Bank. After a low of 12.50 percent in 1993, the fiscal capacity expanded steadily, rising from 18.29 percent in 1991 to the current level, reflecting the consolidation of a market‑oriented tax system and the broadening of the tax base following EU accession. The 2025 figure is virtually identical to that of Mozambique (22.31 percent) and slightly above Belgium’s 21.98 percent, underscoring Lithuania’s position among both emerging and advanced economies. The upward trajectory has been supported by progressive income taxation, increased VAT rates, and improved compliance mechanisms. Continued alignment with EU fiscal directives and further digitalisation of tax administration are likely to sustain the modest growth in revenue, although any slowdown in economic activity could temper the upward trend.
