Dividends received from foreign companies by individuals who are tax resident in Lithuania are generally subject to 15% Lithuanian personal income tax, regardless of nationality.

Dividends from EEA companies whose profits are subject to corporate income tax or an equivalent tax may be exempt.

Statutory anti-abuse restrictions apply.<\/p>\n
