The Lithuanian State Tax Inspectorate (STI) has begun receiving revenue data from 28,000 cash registers, reminding 4,000 businesses that have yet to comply with i.EKA system requirements. The tolerance period for businesses to start submitting data lasts until May 1, 2025, after which penalties may apply. Companies can either modify existing cash registers or adopt virtual fiscalization, which allows mobile devices to function as cash registers, ensuring smoother and more cost-effective transactions.

The State Tax Inspectorate (STI) announced that it is now receiving revenue data from 28,000 cash registers used by over 6,000 taxpayers. Entrepreneurs who were required to start submitting data to the i.EKA system in 2023 but have not yet done so are currently receiving reminders via My STI. Approximately 4,000 customers will receive these reminders.
Rolandas Puncevičius, Head of the Operational Control Department of the STI, stated, "While implementing the changes related to i.EKA, we are constantly communicating with businesses and cash register installers. Taking into account the supply of cash registers on the market at the beginning of the project, we had provided for exceptions to the application of liability. Businesses had to conclude contracts with service companies for the installation of cash registers and preparation for providing data to i.EKA. We hope that during this time businesses have fully prepared for the change—they've chosen the most suitable cash register solution and have planned to start providing data to i.EKA in the near future."
Puncevičius emphasized that the tolerance period lasts until May 1, 2025, urging businesses to ensure the provision of data by this deadline.
The changes in i.EKA only affect entrepreneurs already required to use cash registers in their activities. For those who are not required to, nothing changes, and they do not need to have cash registers.
Existing cash registers can be modified to automatically and regularly transfer data to i.EKA by installing additional software or hardware if necessary. Businesses needing to purchase a new cash register can choose between regular cash registers with an i.EKA-adapted security module or cash registers using virtual fiscalization. Virtual fiscalization allows the cash register to be a tablet or mobile phone, providing data directly without using other tools, making transactions more convenient and cost-effective.
According to Puncevičius, there are currently 38 cash register models that work with a security module and 12 models that use virtual fiscalization available on the market. Businesses should consider the nature of their activities, the volume and flow of customers, and the need for an Internet connection when choosing a cash register model.
