Lithuania employs a relatively straightforward tax system with a flat rate for most income types, making it one of the more transparent systems in the European Union. Vilnius, as the capital, operates under the same national tax framework without city-specific surcharges. The Lithuanian tax system is generally considered moderately favorable for expatriates due to its simplicity and relatively low rates compared to Western European countries. The system follows a worldwide income approach for residents, though with several exemptions and international agreements that may benefit newcomers.
