akcizo mokesčiai 17 in lithuania are applied on imported or locally manufactured and sold products alcoholic beverages and intermediate alcohol products tobacco products energy products including vehicle fuel heating fuel and electricity excise tax rates are set by law and have changed frequently driven by the minimum tax rates required by european union as well as local budgetary and public interest considerations as the tax contributes significantly to the national budget while many of the products taxed i e alcohol and tobacco products have negative effects on public health as of 2015 the excise tax rates on tobacco products were due to meet the minimum rates required by the european union by 2018 18 the relatively low rates in lithuania are mostly driven by the presence of a significant black market for cigarettes which are illegally imported from russia and belarus at the same time the excise taxes on alcohol products are substantially higher than the minimum levels required by european union exceeding them already in 2004 especially for spirits the increases have been driven by budgetary and public health considerations alcohol consumption in lithuania is among the highest in europe 19 but have attracted criticism for contributing to the widespread black market beer on the other hand is relatively mildly taxed compared to other european countries 20 the black market for goods subject to excise tax has been cited as the main reason for the excise taxes in lithuania failing to meet either budgetary or public health goals the black market benefits from close proximity to russia and belarus widespread tolerance among the population and the prices of legally available goods being high relative to income black market sales are estimated to constitute 33 of all sales for spirits although only 4 5 for low alcohol beverages that enjoy lower excise tax rates 35 for cigarettes and 15 to 20 for vehicle fuel therefore further increasing excise taxes beyond the minimum level set by european union has been criticized as counter productive 20 other taxes edit the law on tax administration sets the list of 25 taxes as of 2015 levied in lithuania
