More than 85% of Belarusians have already paid the unified property payment, which includes the land tax, property tax, and transport tax. The remaining citizens must do so no later than November 16 inclusive. How to find out the amount and avoid additional expenses was explained in the "Closer to the matter" column by Denis Tereshkov, Deputy Head of the Main Department of Taxation of Individuals of the Ministry of Taxes and Collections.

What property requires payment

This year, taxes are being withheld for 2025. Therefore, citizens who owned real estate, land plots, or vehicles last year need to check their obligations.

"The tax for the current year is paid for 2025," explained Denis Tereshkov, reminding the need to timely pay the stated amounts.

How to find out the amount and receive a notification

According to the representative of the Ministry of Taxes and Collections, notifications have already been sent to all payers. If the document was not received, one can request a duplicate from the tax authority at their place of residence or independently generate a notification in their personal account on the ministry's website.

The amount can also be found and paid through the Unified Information Payment System (ERIP). To do this, select the tax authority at your place of residence and enter your taxpayer identification number.

"You can also view the amounts due for payment in the ERIP system by selecting the tax authority at your place of residence and entering your taxpayer identification number," said Tereshkov.

After entering the data, the amount will be displayed automatically; the payment can then be made.

What expenses will arise from late payment

Late payment incurs daily penalties on the outstanding amount. Furthermore, tax authorities have the right to take enforcement measures.

"This includes sending the enforcement document to your place of work, your pension payment location, or to the enforcement authorities," noted the representative of the Ministry of Taxes and Collections.

Transferring documents to the enforcement authorities may also incur additional fees. If the debt persists until the end of the current year, the financial burden will increase.

"In the event that a citizen does not fulfill their tax obligations for the unified property payment by the end of the current year, an additional 15% will be levied on the outstanding amount next year," warned Denis Tereshkov.

He urged them to check the charges in advance and pay within the set deadline to avoid having to pay more later.
