Amendments related to the application of 0% VAT rate to transportation services. The Court established, that transportation services related to the exportation \/ importation of goods should be treated as services which are directly related to the supplier or purchaser of goods<\/u>.<\/p>\n

The Court\u2019s ruling amends current explanation of Article 45, part 1 of the Lithuanian VAT Law (hereinafter \u2013 the Law). Based on the current Commentary of the Law, transportation services related to import \/ export of goods may be exempted from VAT in both stages (i.e. driver \u2013 forwarder, forwarder – customer).<\/p>\n

On 20 July 2017 the Lithuanian State Tax Inspectorate (hereinafter \u2013 the STI) informed, that the STI is going to take the decision to amend the Commentary of the Lithuanian VAT Law based on the Court case \u2013 law regarding the application of VAT rate (i.e. 0% or 21%) to the transportation services. However, new taxation provisions should be applied only for the future transactions which will take place after amendments of the Commentary.<\/p>\n
