(2014/846/EU, Euratom)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,

After consulting the Advisory Committee on Own Resources,
Whereas:
(1)
Under Article 385 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (2), Lithuania may, in accordance with the conditions applying in that Member State on the date of its accession, continue to exempt the transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B to that Directive, for as long as the same exemption is applied in any of the Member States which were members of the Community on 30 April 2004; those transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT own resources base.
(2)
In its response of 29 April 2014 to the letter of 14 February 2014 of the Commission regarding the simplification of VAT own resources inspections (3), Lithuania requested authorisation from the Commission to use a fixed percentage of the intermediate base for the calculation of the VAT own resources base for transactions referred to in point 10 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC for the financial years 2014 to 2020. Lithuania has shown that the historical percentage has remained stable over time. Lithuania should therefore be authorised to calculate the VAT own resources base using a fixed percentage in accordance with the letter sent by the Commission.
(3)
For reasons of transparency and legal certainty it is appropriate to limit the applicability of the authorisation in time.
(4)
It is therefore appropriate to amend Commission Decision 2005/819/EC, Euratom (4) accordingly,
