Tax relief

If you accumulate additional funds for your pension, the beginning of your children’s independent life or you have concluded another cumulative life insurance contract, you may use a PIT (personal income tax) relief. You may be refunded up to 15% of your paid life insurance premiums annually.

How is the PIT relief applied?

The maximum amount of premiums, of which PIT may be refunded, cannot exceed 25 per cent of taxable income received by you during the entire tax period. This condition is stipulated in Article 21(1) of the Law on Personal Income Tax.

We also remind you that a new requirement entered into force on 1 January 2017, according to which permanent residents of the Republic of Lithuania may be refunded PIT of premiums of EUR 2 000 paid according to their cumulative life insurance contracts and to pension funds. Thus, the maximum amount of EUR 300 may be refunded per year. This new provision of the Law on Personal Income Tax is applied to premiums paid in 2017 and subsequent years. This condition is stipulated in Article 21(3) of the Law on Personal Income Tax.

Who is eligible for the PIT relief?

Permanent residents of the Republic of Lithuania who pay life insurance premiums according to their life insurance contracts, which provide that indemnity shall be paid not only upon an insured event but also upon expiry of the insurance contract, are eligible for the PIT relief.

You may use the relief if you pay premiums according to the life insurance contract:

on your behalf;
on your spouse’s behalf;
on behalf of your minor children (adopted children, foster children who have been established permanent care (foster care) in a family) or on behalf of disabled children under 18 and older (adopted children, foster children who have been established permanent care (social care) in a family;
on behalf of persons of full age who have been established permanent care (foster care) in a family before coming of full age) and/or who have been established a special need for permanent care (children under 18 and older (adopted children, foster children) and/or who have been established permanent care (foster care) in a family, on behalf of persons of full age who have been established permanent care (foster care) in a family before coming of full age) who were established full disability before 30 June 2005).

When and how may the part of insurance premiums be refunded?

You may be refunded the part of income tax of your life insurance premiums paid during the calendar year, specified in the law, when you submit an annual income tax return. When your tax return is accepted and examined, you will be refunded by the State Tax Inspectorate.

Note: Terms and conditions for changing the beneficiary indicated in the insurance contract

Upon amendment to the Republic of Lithuania Law on Personal Income Tax, reliefs specified in subparagraphs 9, 91 and 10 of paragraph 17 of the Republic of Lithuania Law on Personal Income Tax as of 01.01.2017 shall apply if:

the beneficiary indicated in the insurance contract has not changed since the date of conclusion of the insurance contract;
the beneficiary has been changed due to the death of the beneficiary, due to dissolution of current marriage or entering into new marriage or if the beneficiary – your child (adopted child, foster child) has been substituted by another child (adopted child, foster child);
the beneficiary changed before 31 December 2016.

Please note that the change of the beneficiary or the policyholder before the end of the insurance contract in order to avoid the personal income tax might be treated as abuse and indemnity might be subject to the 15% PIT rate.

Validity of law

The Law on Personal Income Tax entered into force on 1 January 2003. This law applies to life insurance contracts concluded before 31 December 2002 and to contracts concluded after this date.
