As Lithuania's public debt is growing due to the coronavirus crisis, the country might need to raise some taxes in the futures. Their burden wouldn’t be as heavy on residents and the economy if the economic structure changed, Lithuanian Finance Minister Vilius Sapoka says.

Lithuanian employers' organizations say they will commit not to reduce wages during the crisis if the parliament approves President Gitanas Nauseda's initiative to cut the personal income tax rate to 15 percent, from 20 percent, and increase the non-taxable income threshold by 50 euros.
