Professional income tax: The Ministry of Taxes and Levies warned about responsibility for non-payment

tania August 31, 2026 10:30 New minimum payment rules

The Ministry of Taxes and Levies reminded about the rules for paying fees. First of all, since July 1, 2026, a minimum professional income tax has been introduced in Belarus. Its amount is 45 rubles per month.

The innovation applies to citizens who are registered but do not conduct activities. Additionally, the rule affects taxpayers with low income. Thus, if the tax amount based on receipts is less than the minimum, you will have to pay the difference. For pensioners, the rate is lower — 18 rubles.

Responsibility for non-payment

Legislation is tightening control over calculations. If the professional income tax is not paid for three months in a row, the inspection will take measures. Consequently, the taxpayer will be forcibly removed from the registry. At the same time, debts will be collected through enforcement agencies.

How to properly deregister

Many decide to cease activities. In this case, it is necessary to independently close the status in the application. This can be done in the account settings section. However, simply deleting the application is not enough.

If the application is deleted without deregistration, it needs to be installed again. At the same time, the login can be restored remotely or at the inspection office. Following these rules will help avoid unnecessary charges. Thus, the current professional income tax requires careful attention to the taxpayer's status.
