Lithuania’s ruling coalition is weighing a progressive gambling tax with proposed rates of 27%, 32% and 37%, according to reporting by The iGaming Europe based on national broadcaster LRT. Seimas member Tomas Tomilinas says the plan could bring approximately €36m into the state budget, but that estimate is his own.

Proposal remains unsettled

The revenue bands at which each rate would apply have not been made public. Tomilinas says the coalition tax working group has reached agreement on his proposal, but other MPs have said no final deal has been reached and discussions are continuing.

The proposal was submitted to the Seimas in 2025. Tomilinas has called for a six-month transition period after adoption before any new rates take effect. Operators should treat the figures as a proposal, not an enacted tax schedule, and monitor the budget and legislative process.
