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 Statistics Lithuania 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

Intrastat statistical reports must be submitted by persons registered as VAT payers in Lithuania whose total value of goods dispatched and/or arrived in the current year from the beginning of the year exceeds the established reporting thresholds.

Reports must be submitted from the month in which the threshold was exceeded until the end of the calendar year

What to do if an Intrastat report was submitted with errors

If you find that an Intrastat report was submitted with errors, you must immediately submit a corrective report.

corrective report is submitted where it is necessary to:

  • correct data on goods already submitted
  • submit data on an additional item that was not included in the original report
  • cancel an entry for a good that was declared incorrectly

Data from Intrastat reports submitted in the current and previous calendar years may be corrected.

A corrective Intrastat report does not need to be submitted where at least one of the following conditions is met:

  • only the net mass and/or quantity and/or statistical and invoice value is being corrected, and the error identified differs by no more than 5% from the data submitted in the original report
  • the value of the goods changes due to trade discounts or other reasons (e.g. as a result of annual or multi-month trading outcomes) and it is not possible to correct the data in the report for a 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.

Where a VAT payer required to submit an Intrastat report did not dispatch any goods from the Republic of Lithuania to European Union Member States and/or did not receive any goods into the Republic of Lithuania from European Union Member States during the reporting month, the report is completed as follows:

  • boxes 1–13 of the report are left blank
  • in the "Total of all invoice values (boxes 12)" field, zero (0) is entered

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").
