By Jan 1st 2027 it is expected all invoices that subject to VAT must be e-Invoices.
As of July 1st 2025 B2G customers will begin to mandate e-Invoicing
Lithuania
In Lithuania e-Invoicing for B2G has been in use for a number of years with the move to the SABIS platform in 2024 further building on the original eSaskaita
On Jan 1st 2025 much of the B2G invoice market was mandated to be sent via SABIS but currently B2B is optional however we are now seeing many organisation’s already preparing for mandatory e-Invoicing.
We believe in 2026 e-Invoicing for B2B will become mandatory aligning with the broader movements in the EU and the Baltic states in general.
Key Details:
- SABIS Platform
- PEPPOL Integration
- Digital Signature is not mandatory but can be used
- Archiving for 10 years is legally required
Our Crimson Document and Reporting Compliance solution is already live for B2G & optional B2B where agreed and thus we can help prepare you for the mandatory phase by getting you ready early.
