Payroll in Lithuania

Payroll in Lithuania starts before the first salary: the company registers as an employer, reports each new employee to the social insurance system, and from then on withholds income tax and social contributions every month. The manager need not live in Lithuania: Invest Lithuania states there are no residence requirements for the general manager of a UAB. For an owner abroad, the risk is in the details around that cycle: employment contracts in Lithuanian, holiday and sick pay rules, and what happens when a director or an employee works from another country.

What to ask a payroll firm in Lithuania

Ask whether the firm registers the company as an employer and handles the new-starter and leaver reports, or only calculates payslips. Ask which monthly and annual declarations it files and who pays the amounts due. If staff work remotely from another EU country, ask how the firm decides where social insurance is due and whether it applies for the A1 certificate. Ask whether it drafts employment contracts or leaves them to a lawyer, and what the fee per payslip includes. Find out the monthly cut-off for hours, bonuses and absences.

Frequently asked questions

Can a foreign-owned company employ staff in Lithuania?

Yes. The company registers as an employer and reports employees to the social insurance system. A payroll firm can handle the registrations, the monthly calculations and the declarations.

What if an employee works from another EU country?

Social insurance may be due in the country where the person works, and an A1 certificate can show which system applies. Ask the firm to check before the first payslip.

Do payroll firms in Lithuania work in English?

Forty-seven of the 74 firms on this page offer English, and 53 offer Lithuanian. Contracts and some filings are in Lithuanian, so ask the firm to explain each document it prepares.
