Input line:
25/03/2025 ; БЕЛАРУСБАНК ЗАЧИСЛЕНИЕ ; РАБОТОДАТЕЛЬ ООО "АЛЬФА" ; ЗАРПЛАТА МАРТ ; +2,580.00 ; BYN
Reasoning: This is net salary already credited. Reconstruct from a gross of BYN 3,000/month. Monthly income BYN 3,000 exceeds BYN 1,164, so NO standard personal deduction applies. PIT = 3,000 × 13% = BYN 390.00. Employee FSZN = 3,000 × 1% = BYN 30.00. Net = 3,000 − 390 − 30 = BYN 2,580.00. Employer separately pays FSZN 34% (BYN 1,020) + Belgosstrakh ~0.6% (BYN 18). (Source: president.gov.by; ssf.gov.by; G-P)
Classification: Employment income, PIT withheld at source. Excluded from any self-declaration.
Input line:
25/04/2025 ; БЕЛИНВЕСТБАНК ; РАБОТОДАТЕЛЬ ; ЗАРПЛАТА ; +978.24 ; BYN
Reasoning: Gross monthly salary BYN 1,100. Because 1,100 ≤ BYN 1,164, the BYN 192 personal deduction applies; plus BYN 56 for one child under 18. Taxable base = 1,100 − 192 − 56 = BYN 852.00. PIT = 852 × 13% = BYN 110.76. Employee FSZN = 1,100 × 1% = BYN 11.00. Net = 1,100 − 110.76 − 11.00 = BYN 978.24. (Source: eor.by; by.icalculator.com)
Classification: Employment income with standard + child deduction applied.
Input line:
12/06/2025 ; ПРИОРБАНК ; ООО "КЛИЕНТ" ; ОПЛАТА УСЛУГ ; +5,000.00 ; BYN
Reasoning: Freelancer registered under the Professional Income Tax regime, total annual income BYN 80,000 received from Belarusian organisations. First BYN 60,000 at 10% = BYN 6,000. Excess BYN 20,000 at 20% = BYN 4,000. Annual Professional Income Tax = BYN 10,000. Tax is assessed and paid monthly via the official app; no separate annual return is required; receipts are generated per payment. (Source: help.solarstaff.com; spex.by)
Classification: Self-employment income, Professional Income Tax regime.
Input (annual aggregate): Total 2025 income BYN 250,000.
Reasoning: For 2025, income up to BYN 220,000 is taxed at 13%, and the portion above BYN 220,000 at 25%. First 220,000 × 13% = BYN 28,600. Excess 30,000 × 25% = BYN 7,500. Total PIT = BYN 36,100. (Source: president.gov.by; eor.by) Note: if this were 2026, the 25% threshold would be BYN 350,000 and the whole BYN 250,000 would be at 13% = BYN 32,500 — do not conflate years.
Classification: High-income individual; 25% increased rate engaged for 2025. Flag for reviewer (R-BY-3).
Input (annual): IE gross receipts BYN 90,000; documented deductible business expenses BYN 30,000.
Reasoning: IE on the general regime taxes net income. Net = 90,000 − 30,000 = BYN 60,000. PIT = 60,000 × 20% = BYN 12,000. The 30% rate would apply only on income above ~BYN 500,000 [RESEARCH GAP — threshold]. (Source: arzinger.by; GSL) Note: a 16% figure also appears in some sources for IEs [RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm applicable 2025 rate].
Classification: Individual entrepreneur, general regime. Flag for reviewer.
Input line:
15/05/2025 ; АЛЬФА-БАНК ; ВНУТРЕННИЙ ПЕРЕВОД — НАКОПИТЕЛЬНЫЙ ; ; -2,000.00 ; BYN
Reasoning: Transfer between the taxpayer's own accounts. Neither income nor expense. Exclude entirely.
Classification: EXCLUDE.

The exact BYN threshold for the 30% top rate in the PIT context for 2025 is unresolved — Article 214 §3 cites BYN 500,000 but some summaries say BYN 600,000, and it is unclear whether 30% applies to all individuals or mainly IEs on general taxation. Conservative default: flag for reviewer; do not auto-apply 30% [RESEARCH GAP].
IE net-income computation requires applying the wholly-and-exclusively (business-purpose) test to each expense. Personal, entertainment, and capital items require judgement. Conservative default: not deductible until reviewer confirms business purpose and documentation.
The self-determined contribution base (not below minimum wage, not above 5× average wage), the mandatory-pension vs voluntary-social split, and the 29%/6% structure need confirmation from ssf.gov.by. Flag for reviewer [RESEARCH GAP].
Residents are taxed on worldwide income. Foreign-source income must be self-declared. Treaty relief / foreign tax credits and sanctions-affected flows require specialist analysis. Flag for reviewer.

Input: Gross BYN 3,000/month; monthly income > BYN 1,164 (no personal deduction). Expected: PIT = 3,000 × 13% = BYN 390.00. Employee FSZN = 3,000 × 1% = BYN 30.00. Net = BYN 2,580.00. Employer FSZN = BYN 1,020.00; Belgosstrakh ≈ BYN 18.00.
Input: Gross BYN 1,100/month (≤ 1,164); one child. Expected: Base = 1,100 − 192 − 56 = BYN 852.00. PIT = 852 × 13% = BYN 110.76. FSZN = BYN 11.00. Net = BYN 978.24.
Input: Annual income BYN 250,000. Expected: 220,000 × 13% = BYN 28,600 + 30,000 × 25% = BYN 7,500 = total PIT BYN 36,100.
Input: Same BYN 250,000 but tax year 2026. Expected: Below BYN 350,000 threshold → entirely at 13% = BYN 32,500. (Confirms 2025 vs 2026 thresholds must not be conflated.)
Input: BYN 80,000 from Belarusian organisations (non-pensioner). Expected: 60,000 × 10% = BYN 6,000 + 20,000 × 20% = BYN 4,000 = total BYN 10,000.
Input: Gross BYN 90,000; deductible expenses BYN 30,000. Expected: Net = BYN 60,000; PIT = 60,000 × 20% = BYN 12,000. (30% only above ~BYN 500,000 [RESEARCH GAP].)
Input: Gross BYN 3,000. Expected: FSZN 34% (28% + 6%) = BYN 1,020.00; Belgosstrakh ~0.6% = BYN 18.00; total employer on-cost ≈ BYN 1,038.00 (34.6%).

Minimum viable inputs
Bank statement for the full tax year (CSV, PDF, or pasted text) in BYN, plus confirmation of (a) tax residency (>183 days in Belarus in the calendar year), (b) status (employee / self-employed under Professional Income Tax / individual entrepreneur), and (c) whether any income was NOT taxed at source by a Belarusian tax agent.
Recommended inputs
Payroll slips (employer withholding records), FSZN contribution records, Professional Income Tax app receipts, marital/dependant status (for standard deductions), prior-year declaration.
Ideal inputs
Full income and expenditure records, evidence supporting standard and social/property deductions, foreign-source income statements, prior assessments.
Refusal if minimum is missing
SOFT WARN. No bank statement at all = hard stop. Bank statement without supporting records = proceed with reviewer warning: "This computation was produced from bank statement alone. The reviewer must verify residency, that all income taxed at source is correctly excluded from the self-declaration, and that any deductions claimed are supported."
R-BY-1 -- Residency unknown
Belarus taxes residents (>183 days/year) on worldwide income and non-residents on Belarus-source income only. This skill cannot compute tax without confirming residency status. Please confirm before proceeding.revera.legal
R-BY-2 -- Companies and legal entities
This skill covers individuals, self-employed persons, and individual entrepreneurs only. Corporate profit tax (налог на прибыль) for legal entities is out of scope. Escalate to a Belarusian tax adviser.
R-BY-3 -- High-income / 25%-30% bracket near threshold
Income approaching or exceeding BYN 220,000 (2025) engages the increased 25% rate, and the 30% top-rate trigger is not fully reconciled in this skill [RESEARCH GAP]. Escalate to a Belarusian tax adviser for high-income returns.
R-BY-4 -- HTP / special regimes
High-Tech Park (HTP) residents historically benefited from a reduced 9% PIT; current treatment is unconfirmed [RESEARCH GAP]. Free Economic Zone, Great Stone, and other special regimes are out of scope. Escalate.
R-BY-5 -- Arrears / enforcement / concealed income
Concealed or undeclared income is taxed at a penal 26% rate plus administrative/criminal liability. Do not advise on concealment or enforcement matters. Escalate to a Belarusian tax adviser immediately.GSL
R-BY-6 -- VAT or corporate filing requested
This skill covers personal income tax only. For Belarus VAT (НДС) or corporate profit tax, use the appropriate dedicated skill.
R-BY-7 -- Cross-border / sanctions complexity
Belarus is under significant Western sanctions affecting cross-border payments, dividends, and banking. Domestic statutory rates are unchanged, but cross-border treatment requires specialist advice. Escalate.

Standard PIT rate
13%Tax Code, Special Part, Chapter 18; Article 214
Flat rate description
Belarus levies a flat 13% personal income tax (podokhodny nalog) on most income of residents; this rate covers ~98% of employed persons.president.gov.by tax-system page

25%/30% application rule
The 25% rate is applied only to the portion of total annual income above the threshold, not to the whole. A 30% top rate exists for the highest incomes; Article 214 §3 cites BYN 500,000 (some summaries say BYN 600,000) [RESEARCH GAP — reviewer to confirm exact 2025 PIT trigger and scope].Article 214 §3
Tax residency rule
Tax residency is based on physical presence of more than 183 days in a calendar year (1 Jan – 31 Dec). Residents are taxed on worldwide income; non-residents on Belarus-source income only.Tax Code, Special Part; revera.legal; taxatlas.io
