Limited civil liability public legal entity
Online association registration: Fast process in 3–5 business days
An association suits communities, business and professional groups, clubs, and representing the common interests of members or the public. We prepare all incorporation documents and the articles of association and represent you at the Centre of Registers remotely.
At least 3 founders
Founders – legally capable natural persons aged 18 or over and/or legal entities. After registration, all founders become members of the association with equal voting rights.
Limited liability of members
Members are usually not liable with their personal assets for the association's obligations, and the association is not liable for its members' obligations. The law provides for exceptions, e.g. in cases of bad faith.
No initial capital required
An association has no authorised capital – there is no need to contribute or freeze funds in a bank account when setting it up.
1.2% personal income tax and sponsor support
Once it has support recipient status, an association can receive support from sponsors. Only associations that have both support recipient status and the NGO mark in the Register of Legal Entities can receive the 1.2% share of personal income tax. The NGO mark cannot be obtained, for example, by employers' organisations or associations in which companies make up more than 1/3 of the members.

Protection and compliance
Legal peace of mind and smooth registration
When you set up an association with “MyTax”, you get a complete legal and NGO governance foundation. Our team personally oversees every stage of incorporation, ensuring compliance with the Law on Associations of the Republic of Lithuania and a transparent appointment of governing bodies.
Precise articles of association under the Law on Associations
Clearly defined objectives of the association, procedures for admitting and withdrawing members, setting the membership fee and convening the general meeting of members.
Alignment of the NGO governance structure
Flexible governance model: a sole manager (president / chair) or collegial bodies (council, board), with minutes and appointment documents prepared.
Free corrections based on Centre of Registers comments
If the Centre of Registers has any comments on the documents we prepared, we make corrections free of charge until the association is finally registered.

It doesn't get simpler
A clear process: 4 steps to an operating association
For founders with a Lithuanian e-signature, we do everything remotely – no need to visit a notary or queue at the Centre of Registers.
1
Name check and reservation
We check the desired association name in the Register of Legal Entities and, if it is suitable, temporarily register (reserve) it.
2
Preparation of the founding agreement and articles of association
We prepare the founding agreement for all founders, customised articles of association, documents for forming the governing bodies and descriptions of the association's objectives.
3
Signing with an e-signature
All 3 or more founders and the head of the association sign the prepared documents online with a qualified e-signature (Smart-ID, Mobile-ID or LT ID).
4
Registration at the Centre of Registers and support status
The Register of Legal Entities (JAR) registers the association, assigns a legal entity code and issues an extract. After registration, applications for the NGO mark and support recipient status can be submitted.
