The 'Tax Calculator' will help you calculate taxes

A new electronic service, the "Tax Calculator," available on the website of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties of Belarus, will assist individuals in this regard.

Individuals who are not individual entrepreneurs can independently calculate the amount of income tax, as reported by the press center of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties Inspectorate for the Vitebsk region. The service is simple and convenient; to perform the calculation, one only needs to enter the necessary information: the type and amount of income subject to taxation, and the place of primary employment. Data on eligibility for tax benefits and deductions are also indicated, including the presence of children and dependents, and the amount of expenses for education, insurance, and housing construction.

Incidentally, the press center reported that since the beginning of the year, tax authorities in the region have additionally assessed 5.5 billion rubles for individuals whose expenses were found to be inconsistent with their income.

Expenses of individuals related to repeated acquisition of real estate are under special control. For example, the Ministry of Taxes and Duties Inspectorate for the Polotsk district identified an individual who, despite insignificant income, acquired two apartments in Minsk without using credit funds. Following an audit of the tax return, income tax amounting to 31.7 million rubles was calculated and assessed due to the excess of expenses over income, and this amount was fully remitted to the budget.

Questions on this topic can be addressed during a "direct line" on January 23 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM to Valery Nikolaevich Lobatsevich, First Deputy Head of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties Inspectorate of the Republic of Belarus for the Vitebsk region, by calling 42-58-70. Simultaneously, he will be receiving citizens in office No. 203 at the address: Vitebsk, Gogol Street, 8.
