Lithuania: E-Invoicing & VAT Compliance
Learn how to align with the Smart Tax Administration system, including i.SAF invoice reporting and i.VAZ digital logistics controls.
The i.MAS Digital Landscape
i.SAF Reporting & Logistics Control
Lithuania operates i.MAS (Smart Tax Administration System). Key components include i.SAF for VAT invoice reporting and i.VAZ for digital consignment notes in logistics. While B2B e-invoicing is focused on public procurement (B2G), the infrastructure demands real-time data sharing. ERP systems must be configured to extract and submit precise SAF-T style data sets to avoid audit triggers.
Data-Driven Tax Governance
Lithuania is a pioneer of the “Baltic Digital Model.” The State Tax Inspectorate (STI) prioritizes data analytics over manual audits. By cross-referencing VAT data (i.SAF) with transport data (i.VAZ) in real-time, the authority creates a digital twin of the economy. For businesses, consistency is key: data discrepancies between ERP and i.MAS are detected instantly by algorithms.
Understanding Lithuanian E-Invoicing and Tax Reporting Regulations
i.MAS Lithuania: Integrated System for Electronic VAT and Accounting Reporting
i.MAS (Informacinių Mokesčių Apskaitos Sistema) is Lithuania’s integrated electronic tax reporting system designed by the Lithuanian Tax Authority (VMI) to digitize VAT compliance and accounting processes. It encompasses various subsystems, including i.SAF for invoice reporting, i.VAZ for transport documentation, and i.SAF-T for detailed accounting data used in audits.
This system ensures real-time or periodic submission of critical fiscal data, improving transparency and streamlining communication between companies and the tax authority.
B2G e-Invoicing: Lithuania’s Public Sector Invoicing via SABIS
SABIS is Lithuania’s official e-invoicing platform for Business-to-Government (B2G) transactions, developed by the Ministry of Economy and Innovation to streamline invoicing processes and ensure compliance with EU standards. It replaces the previous eSąskaita platform and centralizes the submission of electronic invoices to public entities.
The SABIS system applies to all suppliers working with Lithuanian public sector bodies, requiring them to submit invoices electronically via SABIS, either through the portal, API integration, or Peppol network.
