Attention to parents of school graduates - future applicants for 2026 of state institutions of higher education wishing to be employed in the tax authorities of the Republic of Belarus!Violation of the procedure for receiving cash payments during passenger transportation“Cheap goods” under control
Control over economic entities engaged in the sale of imported goods, so-called “low-price segment”, is one of the priority areas of activity of the tax authorities. Violation of the established procedure for receiving cash payments, sale of goods without documents and identification means – this is an incomplete list of violations detected during operational activities. Thus, since the beginning of the year, operational units of the State Tax Inspectorate of the Vitebsk Region have identified more than 2.0 million rubles of hidden taxable revenue from this category of taxpayers. Economic entities and their sellers have been held administratively liable for an amount of about 250.0 thousand rubles, including an amount of approximately 240.0 thousand rubles for violation of the legislation-established procedure for marking goods with identification means. In addition, violators had to pay additional taxes due to the budget. The State Tax Inspectorate of the Vitebsk Region reminds economic entities of the necessity to strictly comply with legislation in their activities and urges buyers to request a receipt for each purchase – this will not only ensure the collection of taxes due to the state budget, but also serve as a guarantee in case the purchased goods turn out to be of poor quality.

1. The Ministry of Taxes and Duties reports that, in connection with the adoption of the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus and the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus dated July 2, 2025 No. 367/19 "On amending the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus and the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus dated July 6, 2011 No. 924/16" (hereinafter – Decree No. 367/19), under which the requirement to read unified control marks on cash register equipment has been abolished as of July 1, 2025. In order to simplify the processes of selling goods subject to marking with unified control marks and to prevent the formation of queues at retail facilities, trading entities must ensure the reconfiguration of their accounting systems to remove the requirement for scanning these marks. Taking the foregoing into account, in order to ensure unconditional compliance with the requirements of Decree No. 367/16, as well as to simplify the process of retail service when selling goods marked with identification means, we propose that the Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade, the Belarusian Republican Union of Consumer Societies, the Association of Retail Chains, the Association of Taxpayers, regional executive committees, and the Minsk City Executive Committee, in coordination with the territorial inspectorates of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties, take measures to ensure that trading entities carry out the necessary reconfiguration of their accounting systems by August 1, 2025 at the latest, thereby eliminating the need to scan information contained in the unified control mark on cash register equipment.
2. In implementation of the second paragraph of sub-item 2.6 of item 2 of the protocol of the working meeting with the participation of the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus N.G. Snopkov with certain retail chain companies and importers dated June 27, 2025 No. 32/18pr, the State Tax Service informs that in order to adapt business entities to new conditions of carrying out trade activities, the work on organizing differentiated accounting of goods marked with identification means may be carried out in test mode, which will last until November 1, 2025. Within the framework of the test mode, trade entities are required to carry out work to eliminate errors identified in the work with marked goods, to streamline their business processes upon receipt and sale of marked goods, to train personnel and inform buyers about the features of sale and purchase of goods marked with identification means. In order to prevent suspension of operations of trade facilities, ensure the supply of the population with food products and essential items, tax authorities will not apply administrative liability measures for identified violations of the requirements of legislation on the maintenance of differentiated accounting (except in cases where such violations indicate concealment of revenue subject to taxation).

INS for Novopolotsk
Off-the-books wages
One of the ongoing tasks of tax authorities is to identify and prevent instances of salary payments made in envelopes. For instance, during an audit of an organization providing hairdressing and beauty salon services, it was established that revenue from the sale of goods (services) was concealed by accepting cash payments without using cash register equipment and without recording these transactions in accounting (tax) records. This was done to reduce the tax base for the simplified tax system (USN) and to serve as a source of salary payments to employees of the organization, as well as to individuals who are not officially employed by the organization, without reflecting these payments in accounting records, with the aim of evading the obligations of a tax agent to calculate, withhold, and remit personal income tax. In accordance with Article 33 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Belarus, the tax base for the simplified tax system (USN) was adjusted upwards, and the tax base for personal income tax was also increased, including as a result of salary payments to employees of the company that were not reflected in accounting records and due to income received by officials in the form of cash payments accepted without using cash register equipment and not reflected in the organization's accounting records. As a result of the audit, a total of 24.2 thousand rubles were reassessed, including 15.3 thousand rubles in personal income tax. The tax inspectorate draws attention to the fact that, in accordance with the Tax Code of the Republic of Belarus, in cases where facts of evasion of personal income tax through the payment of income in the form of salaries in envelopes are established, without reflection in accounting records and reporting, the tax is collected exclusively from the funds of the tax agent (without subsequent withholding from the individual who actually received the income).
d). Information on cases of salary payments “in envelopes” can be reported by calling 189 or by submitting a written notice to the tax authority at the place of registration. Also, the State Tax Inspectorate for Novopolotsk reminds that administrative liability is provided for violation of legislation on the payment of salary not reflected in accounting, in accordance with Articles 14.3 and 14.5 of the Code of the Republic of Belarus on Administrative Offenses. Non-payment of taxes in an amount exceeding 2000 base values may entail criminal liability. L.S. Volkova, Head of the Control Work Department of the State Tax Inspectorate for Novopolotsk
In the lead-up to March 8, economic entities, including individual entrepreneurs, purchasing and selling flowers, should remember!
The fact of acquisition from individuals of floriculture products grown by individuals is documented by economic entities, including individual entrepreneurs, using a purchase act for goods, raw materials, and supplies according to the form specified in Appendix 1 to the Instruction on the procedure for maintaining income and expense records, approved by the Resolution of the State Tax Inspectorate dated January 30, 2019 No. 5.
At the same time, business entities, including individual entrepreneurs (regardless of the applicable tax regime), are recognized as tax agents when paying income to an individual for floral products realized by that individual. The tax agent is obliged to calculate, withhold from the individual’s income, and remit to the budget the individual income tax at a rate of 13 percent,
regardless of whether the individual possesses a corresponding certificate from the local executive and administrative authority confirming that the realized floral products were grown by the individual on a land plot located within the territory of the Republic of Belarus.
Furthermore, we draw your attention to the strict compliance with the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus and the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus No. 924/16 dated July 6, 2011, “On the Use of Cash
Equipment and Other Equipment When Accepting Payment Means,” which establishes the procedure for accepting payment means and using cash equipment (card payment terminals), including when conducting retail trade in flowers at trading facilities, as well as when conducting itinerant (mobile) trade.
Violation of legislation regarding the acceptance of cash funds entails administrative liability.
Regarding the receipt of wages “in envelopes.” The Tax and Duties Inspectorate of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties of the Republic of Belarus for the city of Novopolotsk once again draws attention to the fact that by agreeing to receive wages “in envelopes” to avoid paying required social contributions and individual income tax, you condemn yourself to a life “outside the rules,” depriving yourself of many rights and social guarantees provided for by labor and other legislation. Live wisely! Work honestly!
On the replacement (update) of cash register equipment» «Tax authorities remind that business entities engaged in the sale of marked goods are required to replace or update their cash register equipment to comply with new requirements by January 1, 2025, while other business entities must do so by April 1, 2025.
