10:05 pm
wild, ancient, its own spruce tree, belarus inspires. good evening, this is the economic environment in belarus, one of the satellite tv channel belarus 24. belarusian-iranian trade turnover at the end of the twenty-second year exceeded $100 million, which is three times more than the level of the twenty-year period, this was announced during the meeting of the head of state with the first vice-president . president of iran, muhammad. this year the dynamics of mutual trade are also positive. in january-august, the countries traded almost $63 million, which is a quarter higher than last year’s values. production for 9 months amounted to 136 billion rubles, or more than 108% of the level of the same period last year.
10:06 pm
belstat reports this. production in the mining industry increased by almost 5%, in manufacturing by 10. belarusians are saving more and more in the national currency. according to the national bank, in september the volume of ruble deposits increased by almost 2%, and over the year by a quarter. at the same time, deposits in foreign currency over the past year have lost more than 600. by the end of the twenty-sixth year, the volume of the european union's debt may grow to 900 billion euros. home the reason is the debt raising of funds for the implementation of anti-covid programs and support for ukraine. the debt now stands at 450 billion euros, which is already nine times more than in 2020. in belarus , it is planned to make changes to the tax code of the twenty-fourth year. among the main innovations are the introduction of a progressive approach to taxation of income and profits, the introduction of a single. property payment, expanding the powers of tax authorities, as well as clarifying the rates of transport fees and the single tax. what other changes are planned?
10:07 pm
in the draft tax code, who they will affect and what underlies the proposed innovations, we will discuss with competent experts right now. today we have experts in our studio who are well versed in complex tax issues. valery belsky - deputy chairman of the council of the republic of the national assembly of belarus, maxim ermalovich, deputy head of the presidential administration of belarus, yuri silverstov, minister of finance of belarus, igor klepcha, first deputy minister for taxes of belarus. dear guests, good evening. good evening. you and i know. a draft law on changing the tax code has been submitted to the lower house of parliament, what changes
10:08 pm
are planned, what is their essence? the main changes, the standard changes, are the modernization of the tax rates set in belarusian rubles, right in the code, inflation is increasing, the rates are being modernized, a clear, usual perfect process, the second point is, let’s say, perfection. in general, types of businesses, respectively, this is the second block, and the third block, let’s say, these are questions, which are associated with an increase or decrease in any rates, or these are benefits, or this is an increase in taxation for certain sectors, so this time, yeah, there is an increase, if?
10:09 pm
briefly, a few literal questions: increasing profits for super-profitable enterprises, increasing the rate to 25%, increasing the income tax for highly, let’s say, profitable activities, where people receive wages of more than 200,000 rubles per year, 200,000 rubles per year a year is 16.6 thousand rubles, rubles per month, despite the fact that the average level for... wages in our country in here we have information for august and in september probably here it should be less than 2,000 rubles. well, next year it is planned that there will be a little more than 2,000, for these sectors there will be increases , as well as certain increases for individual entrepreneurs who earn more, more than 500,000 per year, also the income tax rate for them will be reduced to 30% , remains for everyone, but there are also benefits, roughly speaking, additional ones,
10:10 pm
which are also planned, for example, it is planned to establish a tax deduction for young specialists who were sent by assignment, that is, to their first place of work, if they continue to work after assignment, they will remain there, then for 7 years a tax deduction in the amount of the minimum wage is provided, that is, today it is there is about 550 rubles, that is ... what does this mean, income tax will not be paid on this amount at all, yeah, this is intended to stimulate them, to work there according to the distribution where they went, well, it will make it easier for them, while young specialists have this tax burden. igor nikolaevich, but such a concept as a single property payment is being introduced, this norm will probably affect to a greater extent, well, all citizens of our country, including us, what is its essence? well, in
10:11 pm
essence, the unified property payment is a combined payment of transport tax, real estate tax and land tax, what is this done for, well , today we have, uh, every tax, plus another for each object, is paid to various budgets, that is payer, when an individual pays taxes, he must make several payments, depending on where his real estate or land plots are located, today we have decided to combine this into one single property payment, which will be paid in one sum per invoice, and then the tax service itself will distribute it, according to the budgets of the district, village councils, and so on and so forth, that is, this is absolutely not a new payment, it was simply done for the convenience and simplicity of paying property taxes taxes by physical police, do i understand correctly, we are simply restructuring, as it were, those types of fees, taxes that people paid in a single payment, that is , there are absolutely
10:12 pm
no additional tax burdens, this is done so that it is easy to pay. land, real estate, but there are quite a lot of changes in the draft law, it is not always easy for an unprepared person to grasp this, but again, here’s how yuri mikhailovich said, firstly, this is a group of innovations, it is associated with the introduction of, well, a progressive, essentially approach to taxation, high income. legal entities, individual entrepreneurs and individuals, clarification of certain parameters, and the introduction of a single property payment, clarification of objects of taxation on professional income, yes, criteria for applying a simplified taxation system, the powers of tax authorities are somewhat expanded, a number of other
10:13 pm
changes that will benefit ordinary people , maybe not... relate to such a strong extent, but it should be noted that the day before, yes, our discussion, after after the draft law was published on the national legal portal, of course, many publications appeared where they are trying to use these issues in order to shake up our society, and destructive information resources, well, openly speculate, that is , the red thread running through there is that the tax the burden on belarusians will increase sharply, even reasons are given, allegedly because we do not have enough funds to maintain the state apparatus, the security bloc, whatever they write there, but the red line of all these publications what is happening is that all these innovations are aimed at generating budget revenues, that is, funds are needed, the budget needs to be filled
10:14 pm
, please tell me to what extent this really corresponds and what underlies the changes that we are discussing today in the tax code. changes in tax legislation, as yuri mikhailovich noted at the very beginning, they occur annually, and this is such a normal evolution of the tax system, aimed at gradually improving the main types of taxes that are in our country exist, and here this really happens evolutionarily, without sudden movements, this is the main requirement of the head of state , that the tax system changes in a way that is understandable for taxpayers and does not cause a significant increase in the tax burden on certain categories of the population;
10:15 pm
for example, the income tax system changes significantly, we... we move from a flat scale to elements of progressive taxation, and this is indeed a significant change, but the cost of this change, according to various calculations, additional income, but will amount to from 10 to 20 million rubles, that is, this amount within the budget does not have any significant significance, in a multi-billion dollar budget these 10-20... million are less than 1%, you are now talking about the amount that additionally will go to the budget upon the implementation of which measure , the introduction of a progressive rate for individuals or for legal entities the introduction of a progressive rate of income tax, income tax is paid by individuals, respectively,
10:16 pm
this is a measure for individuals, and you are correct they said that our citizens and residents, tax residents, incomes, average monthly incomes, which amount to more, become tax payers at an increased rate, that is, even people who receive a salary of 16,000 rubles will still pay tax at standard rate, but here’s one small clarification, if i may, igor nikolaevich, correct me if i’m wrong, but if a person receives more than 16,600 rubles, then he pays an increased... income tax rate only on the excess amount, correctly, or from the entire amount, that is, if a person receives 16, there is 17,000, at a flat rate,
10:17 pm
at the standard rate of 13%, he will pay a total of 16.6 there in the period, yes, from the excess amount, from these incomplete ones there is 300 rubles , he will pay 400 rubles at a rate of 25%, that’s correct, in fact, yes, absolutely right, the only excess will be considered above 200,000 per year, if the amount there is 210,000, then from 10,000 he will pay an increased rate, 200,000 will be the same as the standard one rate of 13%. yes, that is, we are talking about the fact that the tax burden for people with this level of income, it does not become 25%. it’s still the same 14-15%, if you compare the amount of tax. with the total income of an individual, but still this is an element of progressive taxation, this is the implementation in practice of the principle of vertical
10:18 pm
fairness of taxation, which is present in the theory of taxes, but this is an element of social justice, no, here of course, and here dmitritorich, here, well, let’s put it this way , you talked about some destructive things there, our opponents, they don’t talk about what. in our in principle, there is such a norm, what is it connected with, yes, this is with the taxation of dividends, that is, those who receive dividends, they also pay income tax , these big salaries, so to speak, are also, if not mostly formed including the distribution of dividends, and so we have provided that if you made a profit, received dividends, and sort of distributed it in the same year, then yes, you pay all this tax and will continue to pay. 2000, but if you have not distributed it for 3 years, that is, allocated it for investment, then your tax will be 6%, and if you have not distributed profits into
10:19 pm
investments for 5 years, your income tax will be zero, and accordingly, those who say that you need to invest, you need to develop, and so on, that’s all they have provided, the same one who means the development of the country for some reason... doesn’t see it, he gets it, well, yes , then 25%, this is the value, well, plus, we must not forget that now the goths, oh which we say, they need to be balanced with something, and the overall level of the tax burden we already have in general, every year it is about 23% , that is, out of 100% of the gdp that the country earns , 23% goes to the budget, well, i think this also speaks of certain things, so to speak, that we do not want to do. there is a 30% tax burden there or 32, yeah, returning to social justice, we must evaluate the tax system according to indicators
10:20 pm
of income distribution among the population, and even with a flat income tax scale , the entire tax system successfully performs this function, in our country, for example, decel... of the highest paid citizens with 10% of those who receive the lowest incomes in the country, this coefficient in 2008 was about six, it is also in 2022, that is, this is a low coefficient in comparison with other countries, where the difference in income is tens of times, we are talking
10:21 pm
essentially about the stratification of society, that is, yes, in many countries of the world, including developed ones, yes, these parameters are simply off the charts compared to the belarusian ones, we have always managed to limit the spread of these indicators, that is, we have a difference between. who earn wages above 10,000 rubles per month, then their share is 0.3% of the total number of citizens, and if we talk about those at whom this norm is aimed, 200,000 per year, or 16.6 rubles per month, then according to our estimates there are about 2,000 people, yes a little
10:22 pm
more. this is exactly the category that will be affected by this measure, these changes in income taxation, but i think that we need to look at the progressive taxation system more broadly, this is the first step, we are starting to introduce elements. the system will change, well, do i understand correctly that this thesis of our opponents that supposedly all these changes are aimed exclusively at generating budget revenues is untenable, valery ivanovich, yes, of course, dmitry aletorievich, we have already said that the price for the budget, or more precisely, revenues, which are expected to increase the tax burden. for a limited number
10:23 pm
of business entities and individuals, they will not provide a significant increase in comparison with the general level of income, but this is precisely an element of social justice. valerie ivanovich, most of the speakers noted social justice, but when we talk about it, we must take into account that social justice underlies all decisions on the socio-economic development of our country, and this has been repeatedly emphasized by the head of state. as well as the need for justified improvement of all components of state policy, we have prepared a story on this topic, let's take a look, please remember, the well-known presidential, i would like the banking system not to be, i quote people with hoards fat cats, then in 2017 no one advertised the awards and bonuses of top managers of banks, no one except the president, so the whole country learned something that was somehow
10:24 pm
not customary to talk about, financial institutions are 20-30 times higher than the salaries of ordinary workers, an abyss of structure commercial profits have the right to dispose of themselves, if not for one thing. banks operate within the country, making money at the expense of its citizens and enterprises; loans are not cheap, including a source of excess income. you can build such a system that you will receive a penny per within a month of the year in the form of a salary, and you can choke on bonuses , as people say, that is, the salary should be... the issue of earned, and in fact fair , salaries at a higher level has been raised more than once, from the recent also resonant belarusian retail, that area , where the business, we are talking about the owners of retail chains, is not in poverty , and this is to put it mildly, 30-40 times great figures, managers receive salaries higher than an ordinary seller and others, and yes, here you need to understand, this is not a reproach to the president top managers in large incomes, business is, after all, risks and responsibility, and first
10:25 pm
for the people, hundreds and thousands of workers, to whom you, as an employer, are responsible, it is understandable quite rightly, this is a different level of income, however, on the instructions of the president, all the figures were revealed to the world, not for in order for millions of owners of retail chains to see everything that is not theirs, and then to see how much an ordinary worker receives with such income, tears, many will say after what they saw , it is necessary to bring it to the people, the sellers, that your salary is 800 or 1000 rubles. but these people have a salary of 50-6000 so-called owners. no one is against business making money, but your employees should also be given this opportunity. perhaps this is the whole point of presidential criticism and the main trend of belarusian politics. a simple, clear and important request for justice. all issues in the country are looked at through this prism. i often say, yes, the law is the same for everyone, the laws must be followed, but you can’t write everything in the laws. that's why. very
10:26 pm
often, especially our judicial corps, and we , when making decisions vertically, one or another decisions, we rely on justice. it is quite logical that a fair approach should be the basis, for example, of price education, remuneration of tax workers; business often sins in the first, second, and third cases. we will soon have 12 million individual entrepreneurs, we don’t have that many people, but there will be 12 million individual entrepreneurs. we have created a colossal offshore, where people do not pay anything, and all are individual entrepreneurs, from journalists, examples of the sea, to officials, so here... we need to put things in order, the task was set for a reason, ip and this has not been a secret for a long time, they take advantage of loopholes in the laws in order to expand the scale of business, because if you deliberately fragment your company by registering a dozen individual entrepreneurs, taxes will not become a difficult time, the authorities see this , the tax authorities understand how, under the guise of individual entrepreneurs, you can
10:27 pm
do a big business with frankly small ones taxes, so now ip employees will be offered a regime of transformation into small and medium-sized organizations corresponding to the status and scale of the tax burden. so that everyone gets justice. this logic follows in relation to rural tourism. sports, it seems that benefits were promised in the form of one basic tax, but who knew that the revival of the village way of life would become a convenient cover for organizers of wedding banquets, in cottages that bear little resemblance to rural houses. they built hotels, for god’s sake, i don’t mind, but you pay taxes like all hotel complexes. they built restaurants that were chic in nature. i don’t mind either, cafes and restaurants , let them be, but pay taxes like the rest of the restaurant business, no, they have benefits, they have registered themselves as agroecotourism, everything is fine, otherwise it’s somehow insulting to the owners real agricultural estates, work for much less money than those who simply rent out
10:28 pm
houses and throw banquets. a fair approach to people is heard in almost every presidential address to the people and parliament, this is the measure of the effective work of government and... principles, the first principle is justice, the demand for justice will increase, the people are the only source of state power and the bearer of sovereignty, this norm constitution predetermines the main principle of our policy, social justice, and we will follow it no matter what happens in the world in the country. the importance of justice is growing all over the world in belarusian society , its importance is also not diminished, this is one of the conditions of sovereignty, the president is convinced, since compliance with these principles gives us hope that we will not have to jeopardize the conditions of independence. social
10:29 pm
justice? valery ivanovich, please tell me what, what consequences may occur if we do not comply with the implementation of the principle of social justice in economic relations, i mean the consequences that are observed now in many countries, including developed ones, but we simply do not have the right to allow them, well, first of all, dmitry aevolevich, i would like to say that the stratification of our citizens by income level is, well, our advantage, even to some extent, here our practically absence of stratification is a very minimal value, it exists, it is objective, but we are among the five countries - among all members of our world community with a minimum level of income stratification, what does this give? this is primarily social stability,
10:30 pm
social stability, as a consequence, is the attractiveness of our jurisdiction, our country jurisdiction for locating a business, for investment, for developing this business, therefore, when we say that business, highly paid citizens become more and more, become payers of the majority of their income , and we said that this is a very small part of the members of our society, then this is a kind of payment for maintaining comfortable conditions for doing business, in principle, spending a little more moreover, we can guarantee that this will lead to even greater earnings, let’s say, by attracting buyers , by advertising our country as a country of responsible business, well, by, well, such a social consensus, which we constantly strive for when undertaking various actions, including in the field of taxation, so this is a very important, not
10:31 pm
only a social category, it is an economic category, i would say, that is, if we deviate from this principle in economic relations, tensions and the absence of such simple human stability, which belarusians probably value most of all, of course, but about stratification, as i said, we received a delegation, quite high-ranking, one said, he says, so in your subway, he says, ministers travel, i say, yes, well this is colossal, this is colossal, it turns out that we are in approximately the same conditions, we do not have people who, well, do not visit certain districts, there are no people who there, i don’t know, live in some kind of bohemian life, that is, we are all approximately in the same yes, but this
10:32 pm
connected not only with economic decisions , including decisions in the area of ​​taxation, it is also a question of educating a belarusian person , that is, a responsible attitude towards one ’s social role, probably not emphasizing one’s advantages, by the way, our business also behaves quite responsibly, i think that he will accept these decisions normally , they are predictable, these decisions, that is, for individual... the whole road map has been implemented, so it cannot be said that these are innovations, they were born yesterday in some offices, they were discussed for a long time, this adaptation has been going on for 2 years, and business is also trying, despite the fact that the tax burden remains stable or, in this case, for some categories it increases, that is, business behaves as very socially responsible, increasing, for example, assistance
10:33 pm
to those in need at the expense of earned profits remaining at the disposal of these companies , well, we know well-known examples, for example, when i will not name so as not to create advertising, yes, but for example, wards are equipped for veterans, uh, sponsorship is provided for expensive treatment, our business, based on its concept of its development, i understand that i think that they will treat this decision with understanding and all this speculation is not a belarusian berry, let’s say, then there are these news, well, destructive forces that are trying to present the facts, distort the facts, because there is no doubt about it, moreover, the overwhelming majority of citizens will not feel these changes in terms of increasing the tax burden, business, well, not probably only large, highly profitable businesses will feel it. it’s the same with individual entrepreneurs. maxim leonidovich, well, let’s return to progressive
10:34 pm
taxation. in fact, if the changes are supported, yes, accepted, an element of, well, progressive taxation will appear in our fiscal system. you talked about this, and said that this is most likely just the first step, but please tell me, if there are prerequisites for this in our belarusian society, are we ready? consequences, well, that is, can occur in as a result of this measure, there are also possible negative consequences, negative , i mean, attempts to split up business, evade taxes, change the residence of our taxpayers, large ones, so as not to pay these increased taxes, what do you think? today the tax system is an objective reality, mainly formed through indirect taxes, vat, excise taxes, and vat, excise taxes, that is, taxes on... consumption , our population, if we take the average household,
10:35 pm
consumes somewhere around 70% , everything else goes away savings, this 70% is one way or another the purchase of goods, food, non-food, the purchase of services, services, in these services and goods there is a fairly large share of taxes. and the opposite effect occurs with a significant share of indirect taxes in the system, they are actually easier to collect , this is a tax that is paid when purchasing goods, so the share of tax payments for families with a higher consumer burden is higher, it does not depend on income, so that this effect . exclude increase social
10:36 pm
justice, increase efficiency system, it is necessary to gradually reduce taxes on consumption, increase taxes on income and property taxes , what is happening now, as you think, maxim ilenovich, people will try to evade paying taxes on excess income, there are different mechanisms, we will not suggest them, but this is how society works, the progressive scale is not so... look for some options , hide excess income, hide them somewhere, receive them in an envelope, then think about how to legalize them in order to pay for some services or goods, or purchase expensive real estate, why do this, it is better to pay this part of the tax, it is not
10:37 pm
so large, there is no control from the tax authorities. assessments as a professional financier, this is how you assess the introduction of a progressive rate for personal income tax, well, what financial consequences will this lead to, what kind of republican budget revenues can we talk about? well , here, dmitriyvich, first of all, the opposite cannot be said about the income of the republican budget, because under... the revenue the tax is transferred to local budgets, that is, where the organization where the person works is registered, so from the point of view there , i will immediately say all sorts of insinuations, something will go there to defense, there to the law enforcement unit, it is all financed from the republican budget, and this money will go to those budgets that pay salaries for teachers, doctors,
10:38 pm
and improve the lives of people where they are in these settlements. it’s better locally, but we’re talking about large sums, we’ve already discussed this here, that it’s about 25 million rubles, this is not, in general, the money that will solve their problems, here is exactly what was said, this is a question of fairness, there is a certain expediency, fairness from a larger income means retaining a larger amount of funds, despite the fact that the acquisition of some goods, no matter what they are, in this case is absent for any citizens , so one of the other elements of this justice is for commercial housing, where, by and large , commercial real estate that is not used for housing stock, tax rates will increase with its size up to 200 m twice over 400 times three, that is, if this property is used for commercial purposes,
10:39 pm
accordingly, real taxes must be paid, which means taxes from the market value of this square. that is, strategically, we still return to social justice to those categories that we discussed. igor nikolaevich, but you must agree that this progressive approach, it is laid down not only in relation to the income of individuals, but also of legal entities, we said yes, that the income tax an increased rate is also being introduced for individual entrepreneurs, but this is inevitable. will lead to an increase in labor intensity, tax collection, strengthening control , this is what maxim lionidovich spoke about, that we need to ensure a high level of control, please tell me, is our tax system, tax administration system ready for these measures? first, as has already been indicated for individuals and
10:40 pm
organizations, this will affect a small number of business entities, for example the income tax rate has been increased, it will affect, according to our calculations , about 200 organizations out of 60,000 payers of the income tax of the organization that we currently have, let me remind our tv viewers, we are talking about the fact that if during the tax period - the tax base for payment of income tax exceeds 25 million rubles, then the increased income tax rate comes into force 25 yes, 25%, yes? as for tax administration, today in the information systems of the tax service, such a volume of information and data is processed and analyzed that this allows us today to exercise not only effective control over the payment of taxes, but we are already moving to the next level, today the tax service is ready to help
10:41 pm
payers, everyone, this includes individuals and organizations, individual entrepreneurs, then there is such a so-called filing system, when the tax service itself partially fills out the payer’s declarations based on the data, the information that we collect, respectively, today this has proven to be very effective in terms
