  • Lithuania will change the rules for reducing business-trip per diems from October 1, 2026.
  • The change is especially relevant to transport and logistics companies, where travel allowances form a meaningful part of work organization and labor costs.
  • Lawyer Egidijus Langys says the impact extends beyond new formal requirements to companies’ daily operations.

From October 1, 2026, Lithuania will change how reductions in daily allowances are paid to employees sent on business trips.

The change is especially important for the transport and logistics sector, where business travel forms a routine part of how work is organized. For carriers, per diems are not simply an administrative detail.

Egidijus Langys, managing partner of the law firm Avocad, says the new rules matter because daily allowances represent a significant part of both work organization and employee costs in transport. Any regulatory change therefore has a direct effect on companies’ everyday operations.

For carriers, this change is important not only because of the new formal requirements.
