In 2025, Belarusians must pay property taxes no later than November 17
Belarussians must pay property taxes by November 17, 2025, as reported today at a press conference by Andrey Kovalevsky, Head of the Main Tax Department for 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, real estate tax, and transport tax. Taxpayers are all citizens who own real estate such as houses, apartments, garages, garden houses, dachas, commercial real estate, 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 acquired, it is expected that the number of such taxpayers will exceed 3 million 600 thousand people," said Andrey Kovalevsky.
Currently, tax authorities are finalizing the calculation of property taxes. In early August, notifications will be prepared for mailing and uploaded to taxpayers' personal accounts. "Many who used the personal account noticed that last year they also received a notification on paper. This was due to issues where some citizens lost their personal account passwords, and there were certain complaints about the absence of a paper notification, leading to confusion about how to pay. This year, some modernization has been carried out: those who logged into their personal account 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 no later than November 15, but since this day falls on a Saturday this year, according to the law, the tax payment deadline is moved to the first working day. 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 after the end of the year. "That is, in the current year, we pay taxes for 2024. Therefore, if someone owned real estate or vehicles in 2024, even if the apartment or car has been sold as of today, taxes for 2024 are still payable. And, accordingly, those who acquired property in 2025 will not pay taxes this year. Taxes for 2025 will be paid in 2026," explained the head of the main department.
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 provided, so you can always get in touch if you have any questions. And in the taxpayer's personal account on the tax authorities' website, you can view the real estate objects subject to tax, and there is a function that allows you to make corrections. And these changes become known to the tax authorities immediately, 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.-
