June 2, Vitebsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. A resident of the Vitebsk region will have to pay more than Br38 million based on the results of the aggregate income declaration for 2008. This is the largest additional amount of personal income tax charged to an individual based on the recalculation of declarations in the region, the Vitebsk regional tax inspection of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties of Belarus informed a BELTA correspondent. Such a large additional payment is due to the citizen receiving income from the sale of real estate. Among individual entrepreneurs, the largest additional payment as a result of recalculation amounted to Br5.4 million. The highest annual income of a person who is not an individual entrepreneur exceeded Br428 million, and that of an individual entrepreneur was Br4.8 billion. Assessing the past aggregate income declaration campaign, the tax inspection noted that due to the simplification of tax legislation, the number of declarations submitted in January-April of the current year decreased by 1.7 times compared to the same period in 2008, amounting to 9647. Of the 7809 declarations from individuals, half were submitted due to receiving tax deductions for 2006-2008. The total amount of personal income tax to be refunded due to the provision of tax deductions to individuals and individual entrepreneurs amounted to almost Br1.6 billion. The tax inspection also drew attention to the decrease in the number of declarants who need to pay additional tax based on the recalculation results. In the region, there are 3.4 thousand such taxpayers. In total, they owe Br1.1 billion. -0-
