Why these defaults?
The country code comes from ISO 3166. Unicode CLDR supplies presentation-oriented locale, currency, paper, date, language, calendar, numbering, and direction metadata. Defaults reduce setup time; they do not decide what a valid document must contain.

- Guidance: Lithuania's VAT Law requires a VAT invoice to include accounting-document requisites, supplier identity and VAT registration number, purchaser identity, goods/services name, taxable amount, VAT rate and VAT amount, plus any further particulars established under law. The legislation also gives explicit simplified-invoice information and supports i.SAF VAT-invoice registers; special cases may change the required information.Evidence LT_VAT_LAW_INVOICE, LT_VMI_ISAF · reviewed 2026-07-18 · review by 2027-01-18 · automation advisory only
- Required when applicable: Lithuanian VAT invoices, including qualifying cash-register receipts, are kept for ten years from issue; electronic-storage rules require authenticity, integrity and legibility through the retention period.Evidence LT_VMI_INVOICE_REGISTERS, LT_VMI_VAT_GUIDANCE · reviewed 2026-07-20 · review by 2027-01-20 · automation advisory only
