PM wants law-enforcement, tax bodies step up fight against shadow economy

“The police, the Financial Crime Investigation Service, the Customs, the Tax Inspectorate — these bodies have to more substantially and actively contribute to curbing the shadow economy. Today we do not see the breakthrough we expect,” he said on the Žinių Radijas radio station on Thursday.

The government next month plans to publish analytical data on the scale of the shadow economy.

Estimates of the size of the shadow economy in Lithuania vary between 15 percent and 30 percent.
