START WITH THE BASICS

Two different ways to give.

Allocating income tax through VMI and transferring your own funds are different mechanisms. This guide explains the distinction.

01

Up to 1.2% of GPM

An allocation of Lithuanian personal income tax through VMI. It is not 1.2% of your salary or an additional bank payment.

2027 campaign
02

A voluntary donation

A bank transfer to the parish account. You can help today, whether or not you take part in the Lithuanian GPM scheme.

Open official EDS

Religious communities regain eligibility for this support from 2027. This site has not verified that the parish with code 301004570 is available in EDS or that its GPM account is registered in Mano VMI. Check the recipient in EDS before applying; the parish itself must check its account details.

How much is 1.2%?

Enter the annual GPM amount used to allocate support: not your salary, the outstanding tax balance or your refund. The FAQ below explains the calculation base. This calculator provides an illustration only.

25 people

3 000 € × 0.012 = 36 € · 25 × 36 € = 900 €

Annual GPM × 0.012

The calculation stays in your browser. VMI determines the final amount. An allocation below €3 to one recipient for a tax year is not transferred; this calculator does not apply that threshold.

WITHOUT THE COMPLICATIONS

Answers to important questions.

Is this an extra payment?

No. FR0512 allocates part of your income tax; it does not debit an additional donation from your bank account. A direct bank transfer in the support section is a separate way to give.

Who can use the GPM scheme?

Lithuanian tax residents (nuolatiniai Lietuvos gyventojai) with income subject to GPM in the relevant year can participate. The 2027 campaign concerns 2026 income. Citizenship alone neither grants nor excludes eligibility. Tax residency follows tax rules, not the website language; check your status with VMI if you live abroad.

Can I support several recipients?

Yes: allocations in this recipient category must total no more than 1.2%. You may separately allocate up to 0.6% to political organisations and up to 0.6% to trade unions or their associations; these limits do not reduce the 1.2% allowance. An amount below €3 to one recipient for a tax year is not transferred.

I previously chose several years. Must I apply again?

Usually you do not need to reapply if the valid application covers the relevant tax year, the recipient remains eligible and you are not changing the allocation. Check the period, recipient and application status in EDS. The law allows religious communities from 2027, but does not by itself confirm that your previous application will be executed.

Do I need to file GPM311?

FR0512 does not replace GPM311. If you must file an annual income tax return, file it on time: support is not transferred if the required return is missing or late. If you have no filing obligation, FR0512 alone does not require you to file GPM311. Check your obligation and applicable deadlines with VMI.

Will this website send my tax details to the parish?

FR0512 and income tax returns are submitted in EDS, not on this site. VMI gives recipients aggregate amounts, not details about each person who supported them. Calculator values stay in your browser. After separate consent, “Ask AI” sends your question through Cloudflare to OpenAI; do not enter personal tax information.

How can I help without GPM?

You can make a voluntary bank transfer using the details in the parish-support section. Contact the parish about donating materials or helping with work.

Can religious communities receive 1.2% from 2027?

Yes. A legal amendment effective on 1 January 2027 includes religious communities, associations and centres as recipients. It also adds state and municipal schools, building owners’ associations and gardeners’ associations. Check each recipient in VMI/EDS; this site has not verified this parish’s details for the 2027 campaign.

Can I change or cancel an application?

Submit the initial application for 2026 by 3 May 2027. Under current rules, an existing application for that year’s allocation can be corrected in EDS until 30 June 2027: change the recipient, percentage or period. To withdraw support for all recipients, submit a corrected application with no recipients. 30 June is a correction deadline, not an extension for initial applications.

When is support transferred and where can I check it?

Under the general procedure, VMI calculates and transfers support between 1 July and 15 November of the following year: in 2027 for income received in 2026. This does not guarantee a particular payment date. Check EDS notifications (Pranešimai) or Mano VMI; acceptance of FR0512 does not mean the money has already been transferred.

What is the 1.2% calculated from?

The annual GPM calculated in the return, not salary, the outstanding balance or a refund. VMI also adds fixed GPM paid for a verslo liudijimas business certificate and subtracts income tax paid abroad. If no return is filed or required, the base is GPM withheld by the income payer. VMI determines the exact amount; the calculator only multiplies your entered base by 0.012.

Can a pensioner or someone without a job allocate GPM?

Being retired or out of work does not by itself exclude you. Tax residency and income on which GPM was calculated or withheld for the relevant year matter. If all income is tax-exempt and GPM is zero, there is no tax to allocate. Other taxable income may allow participation, subject to VMI conditions.
