Additional pension contributions for payers of professional income tax

The Vitebsk Regional Department of the Social Protection Fund of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Republic of Belarus informs.

In connection with the adoption of Law No. 90-Z of July 12, 2025 "On Amendments to Laws on State Social Insurance and Pension Provision", payers of professional income tax (self-employed) have a new opportunity – the right to pay additional contributions to form insurance seniority.

For reference. In 2025, to be eligible for an old-age pension, an insurance seniority with paid contributions of 20 years is required.

To obtain 1 year of insurance seniority, pension insurance contributions must be paid in the amount of 29% of 12 minimum wages (MW) per year.

Additional contributions are paid no later than March 31 of the year following the reporting year.

Mandatory insurance contributions for 2024 must be paid no later than September 30, 2025.

The amount of contributions for voluntary additional payment is available in the "Personal Account of an Individual" on the Fund's portal, as well as in the "ERIP" system → FSZN → Vitebsk region → district department (sector) of FSZN → Contributions to FSZN by individuals for themselves → Your UNPF (9 digits)).

You can find out your UNPF on the Fund's portal in the E-Services section.
