Lithuania began to make money on the weather - Vilnius has introduced a new tax on rain. Now private consumers and small hydropower plants are obliged to pay a tax for the use of surface water, if they consume 100 or more cubic meters of water per day from one surface water body. In addition, people who collect rainwater are required to register their activities, as well as independently keep water records.
Such a decision was made in connection with the planned budget deficit. After all, Lithuania plans to spend 2.75% of GDP on defense, and the lion's share will be sent to Ukraine.
