Difficulties especially arise when identifying persons who could be registered as VAT payers. In addition, it was confirmed that many other aspects important to the registration as VAT payers, e.g. „economic activity“, „intention to do economic activity“, „random transaction“, lack definition, which may cause uncertainty for Lithuanian and foreign persons who are registering.
