If you are a tax resident of a country where Lithuania has a double tax treaty exemption agreement, you can reduce the withholding tax. You shall download and sign the DAS-1 form and upload it when registering or after the registration in your settings (the DAS-1 example can be found here).

Important to know:

  • The DAS-1 form must be signed with a real signature, as e-signatures are not accepted.
  • Instead of signing Part V in the DAS-1 form (‘Certificate of the Tax Authority of foreign country’), a certificate of tax residency issued and signed by the local authority may be provided with the signed DAS-1 form.
  • In part III ‘Income’ -> ‘Type of income’, ‘Interest income/Income’ must be written by the investor. The date and the number of contract can be found in the user agreement (go to your account’s settings to find the user agreement).
  • We recommend submitting the documents before your first investment or first repayment. In case the documents are not submitted, a standard 15% tax rate on the interest earned is applied.
  • Please note that it may take 2-3 working days for the documents to be reviewed and accepted.
  • DAS-1 form or DAS-1 form and a tax residency certificate shall be provided for every calendar year.
  • Suppose the DAS-1 form has not been submitted for the previous calendar year, an investor may fill in the DAS-2 form and contact the State Tax Inspectorate of Lithuania (lit. Valstybinė mokesčių inspekcija – VMI) directly for a tax refund for a previous taxable year.
