In 2025, Belarusians must pay property taxes no later than November 17
Belarusians must pay property taxes by November 17, 2025, as announced today at a press conference by Andrei Kovalevsky, Head of the Main Department for Taxation of Individuals of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties.
"Annually, over 3.5 million citizens of our country and foreign citizens who own real estate in Belarus pay property taxes. These include land tax from individuals, property tax, and transport tax. The taxpayers are all citizens who own real estate such as houses, apartments, garages, garden houses, dachas, commercial properties, as well as land plots and vehicles registered with the traffic police. This year, considering that construction is ongoing every year, the number of real estate objects is growing, and vehicles are being purchased, it is expected that the number of such taxpayers will exceed 3 million 600 thousand people," said Andrei Kovalevsky.
Currently, tax authorities are finalizing the calculation of property taxes. In early August, notifications will be prepared for postal delivery and uploaded to taxpayers' personal accounts. "Many who used their personal accounts will recall that last year they also received a notification in paper form. This was due to issues where a number of citizens had lost their personal account passwords, leading to complaints about the absence of a paper notification and confusion about how to pay. This year, some modernization has been carried out: those who logged into their personal accounts saw a pop-up message asking if they wished to receive notifications electronically. Those who confirmed their consent will receive notifications exclusively in electronic form this year. Currently, this applies to about 160,000 people. The majority will receive notifications by mail. All notifications will be sent to taxpayers no later than October 1. Taxes are due by November 15, but since this day falls on a Saturday this year, the tax payment deadline is moved to the first working day according to the law. Therefore, this year taxes must be paid no later than November 17," noted the representative of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties.
Property taxes are paid by individuals at the end of the year. "This means that this year we are paying taxes for 2024. Therefore, if someone owned real estate or vehicles in 2024, even if the apartment or car has been sold by today, taxes for 2024 are payable.
According to him, each notice provides a detailed calculation of taxes for each type of property, whether it is a tax for an apartment, a land plot, or a vehicle. Contact phone numbers of the tax authorities that calculated the tax are also indicated, so you can always get in touch if you have any questions. And in the taxpayer's personal account on the website of the tax authorities, you can view the taxable real estate objects, there is a function that allows you to make corrections. And these edits are immediately known to the tax authorities in online mode. The tax authority will check the accuracy of the information provided by the taxpayer against state information resources. If there are grounds, the data will be adjusted, and the taxpayer will be notified of the changed tax amount.-
