Trade with the EU (Intrastat)

Published:

Intrastat is a system for collecting statistical data on trade in goods between the Republic of Lithuania and other European Union Member States. The Intrastat system was introduced in the European Union on 1 January 1993, and in Lithuania on 1 May 2004.

Intrastat data is used to compile European Union and national statistics on international trade in goods.


Who collects and processes Intrastat data

The Customs Department under the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania collects and accumulates Intrastat data.

The State Data Agency provides methodological guidance on Intrastat data collection, coordinates the process and compiles Lithuania's statistics on international trade in goods.


Who is required to submit Intrastat reports

Persons registered as VAT payers in Lithuania who exceeded the established Intrastat arrival and/or  dispatch reporting thresholds in the previous year shall submit Intrastat statistical reports from the beginning to the end of the current year (see the Illustration of Situation I below about dispatch).

Persons registered as VAT payers in Lithuania whose total arrival and/or dispatch value in the current year has exceeded the established Intrastat arrival and/or dispatch reporting thresholds since the beginning of the year shall submit Intrastat statistical reports starting from the month in which the threshold was exceeded until the end of the calendar year (see the Illustration of Situation II below about dispatch).

What to do if an Intrastat report was submitted with errors

If errors are detected in the submitted Intrastat statistical report (incomplete, incorrect, or missing data are provided, or data on transactions that should not have been included in the Intrastat statistical report are specified), the VAT payer must immediately submit a new version of the Intrastat statistical report.

A new version of the Intrastat statistical report shall be submitted when it is necessary to:

  • amend previously submitted data
  • supplement the Intrastat statistical report with new commodity records
  • delete commodity records

A new version of the Intrastat statistical report does not need to be submitted if:

  • only the values of the net mass, quantity, and/or statistical and invoice value of the goods are specified incorrectly, and the variance of the identified error differs from the previously submitted statistical data for that specific item line by no more than 5%. When an adjustment arises from a general financial discount applied to an entire invoice or invoices, the information of which was submitted in the accepted Intrastat statistical report, the discount must be distributed proportionally across all goods lines, and the 5% variance is evaluated at the level of the invoice or statistical value of each individual goods line
  • the adjusted value of the goods changes due to trade discounts or other reasons (e.g., due to annual or multi-month trade results) and it is impossible to amend the statistical data of the Intrastat statistical report for that specific month

Do Intrastat statistical reports need to be completed if no trade took place

Yes, Intrastat statistical reports must be completed even where no trade took place.

If, during the reference month, a VAT payer obliged to submit an Intrastat report had no dispatches of goods from the Republic of Lithuania to European Union Member States and Northern Ireland (part of the United Kingdom) and/or had no arrivals of goods into the Republic of Lithuania from European Union Member States and Northern Ireland (part of the United Kingdom), the general part of the Intrastat report shall be completed as usual and the no-trade indicator shall be marked. The goods section shall not be completed.


Liability for failure to submit Intrastat reports

Failure to submit Intrastat statistical reports may result in liability under Article 221 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Lithuania ("Violation of the procedure for submitting statistical data").
