It provides that the income of religious communities, associations and centres, meaning contributions and income from the sale of property acquired through charitable means, is not taxable provided it is intended for the construction, repair or restoration of a house of prayer, for charity, or for the support of religious rites and service staff. It is the source used here for Lithuania's tax exemption regime for registered religious organizations.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (8 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedRepublic of Lithuania, Seimas (Parliament)Publication YearWell-attested1995URLWell-attestedhttps://www.icnl.org/wp-content/uploads/Lithuania_lawrelig.pdfSource TypeWell-attestedStatuteAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1The primary text of Lithuania's own statute, hosted in English translation by the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law, an established legal research NGO that hosts statute translations without editorial alteration.
