good evening, this is the economic environment on belarus one satellite tv channel belarus 24. belarusian-iranian trade turnover at the end of the second year exceeded $100 million, which is three times more than the level of the twenty-first year. this was stated in during the meeting of the head of state with the first vice-president of iran, muhammad mahber. 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. in belarus, the volume of industrial production for 9 months amounted to 136 billion rubles, or more than 108% of the level of the same period last year. belstat reports this. production in the mining industry increased by almost 5%, in manufacturing by 10. belarusians more and more people are saving in national currency, according to the national bank in september. the volume

of ruble deposits increased by almost 2%, and by a quarter over the year, while deposits in foreign currency over the past year lost more than $600 million. by the end of the twenty-sixth year, the eu's debt could rise to 900 billion euros. the main reason is the debt raising of funds for the implementation of anti-covid programs and support for ukraine. now the debt is 450 billion euros, and this is already nine times more than in the twentieth year. to be added to belarus. introduction of a progressive approach to taxation of income and profit, introduction of a single property payment, expansion of the powers of tax authorities, as well as clarification of transport tax and single tax rates. what other changes are included in the draft tax code, who will they affect and what underlies the proposed innovations, we will discuss with competent experts right now.

today we have. in the studio are experts who are well versed in complex tax issues, valery belsky, deputy chairman of the council of the republic 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, we know that a draft law on changing the tax code has been submitted to the lower house of parliament. what changes are planned, what is their essence? the main changes, standard changes, are the modernization of the tax rates set in belarusian rubles, directly in code, inflation is increasing,

rates are being modernized, an understandable, normal , perfect process. the second point is, say, the improvement of tax administration, digitalization is underway, and emerging. some new opportunities and payments in general types of business, respectively, this is the second block, and the third block, let’s say, these are issues that are related to an increase or decrease in any rates, or these are benefits, or this is an increase in taxation for individual sectors, so this time, yeah, the increase, in short, is several literally questions, profits for super-profitable enterprises, an increase to means up to 25% of the rate, an increase in 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 - that’s 16,

6 thousand rubles per month, rubles per month, despite the fact that the average level of wages in our country is in well, we have information for august, yes, in september, probably it should be here, it is 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 is an increase, as well as a certain increase for individual entrepreneurs who receive more, earn more than 500,000 per year, the income tax rate for them also increases to 30%, for everyone it remains the same. and benefits, roughly speaking, additional ones, which are also planned , for example, it is planned to establish a tax deduction for young specialists who were sent on assignment, that is, to their first place of work, if they continue to work after assignment there will remain, then for 7 years

a tax deduction is provided in the amount of the minimum wage, that is, today it is about 550 rubles, that is, what does this mean, there will be no income tax on this amount. 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, this is its essence, at its core, a single payment is a unified payment. transport tax, real estate tax and land tax, why is this done, well, today, in our country, each tax, plus another for each object, is paid to various budgets, that is, the payer , an individual, when paying taxes, he

must make several payments, depending on where his real estate or land plots are located, today we have decided that... this is in one single property payment, which will be paid in one sum to one account, and then the tax service itself will distribute it accordingly among the district budgets, village councils and so on and so forth, that is, this is absolutely not a new payment, it was simply made for the convenience and simplicity of paying property taxes to the physical police, do i understand correctly, we are simply restructuring, as it were, those types of fees and taxes that people paid in a single... no, this, this is done so that it is easy to pay taxes, there is no need to make several payments, but in one payment all the taxes that an individual must pay, transport land, real estate

here, but - changes in the project law quite a lot, it’s not always easy for an unprepared person to cover it, but again, here’s what yuri mikhailovich said, firstly... this is a group of innovations, it is associated with the introduction of, well, a progressive, essentially, approach to taxation of highly profitable legal entities , individual... hosts and individuals, clarification of individual parameters and the introduction of a single property payment, clarification of objects of taxation on professional income, yes, the criteria for applying the simplified tax system are somewhat expanded the powers of the tax authorities, a number of other changes that may not affect ordinary people so much, but it should be noted that on the eve of our discussion, after the draft

law was published on the national legal portal, of course , many publications have appeared where they are trying to use these issues in order to shake up our society, and destructive information resources are openly speculating, that is , the red thread there is that the tax burden on belarusians will increase sharply, reasons are even 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 in all these publications is that all these innovations are aimed at generating budget revenue, that is we need funds, we need to fill the budget, please tell me how true this is, and what is the basis? these are the changes that we are discussing today in the tax code. changes in tax

legislation, like 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 exist in our country, and here this really happens: evolutionarily, without sudden movements, this is the main requirement of the chapter state, so 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, the income tax system, for example, changes significantly taxation, we are moving from a flat scale to an element of progressive taxation, and this is indeed a significant change

, however, the cost of this change, according to various calculations , additional income 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%, therefore. now talk about the amount that will additionally go to the budget when implementing a measure, introducing a progressive rate for individuals or for legal entities progressive rate of income tax, income tax is paid by individuals, respectively, this is a measure for individuals, and you correctly said that it is our citizens who become payers of the tax at an increased rate... and residents, tax residents, income, average

monthly income, which is more than 16.6 thousand belarusian rubles, that is, even people who receive a salary of 16,000 rubles, will still pay tax at the standard rate, but here’s one small clarification, if you allow, igor nikolaevich, correct me if... i’m wrong, but if a person receives more than 16,6000 rubles, then he pays an increased rate of income tax, only on the excess amount, correctly, or with the entire amount, that is, if a person receives 16, there is 17,000 at, flat, at the standard rate, 13% he will pay the amount of 16.6 there in the period, yes, and the excess amount from these incomplete ones is 300 rubles, 400 rubles he will pay at 25% rate, right? in fact,

yes, absolutely true, the only thing, the excess will be considered over 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 at the standard rate of 13%. yes, that is, we are talking about the fact that the tax burden for people with this level of income does not increase. 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 tax fairness, which the theory of taxes is present, but this is an element of social justice, here of course, and here dmitritorich, here, well, let’s say, you talked about some destructive things there,

our opponents, they don’t talk about what, that in principle we have such a norm , what is it connected with, right? this is with the taxation of dividends, that is, those who receive dividends, they also pay income tax , and these, so to speak, large salaries, including, if not for the most part , are formed by the distribution of dividends, and so here we have it is stipulated 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 pay, which means more if they exceed 200,000, if you haven’t distributed them for 3 years, that is, you sent for investment, then your tax will be 6%, and if you have not distributed profits into 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, they have it all provided, the same,

who means, for some reason, does not see the development of the country, he receives it, well, yes, then 20. this value, well, plus, we must not forget that these are the benefits we are talking about, they need something to balance, and the overall level of the tax burden has been around 23% for many years now, that is, out of 100% of the gdp that the country earns, 23% goes into the budget, well, i think this also speaks of certain things, so to speak. that we don’t want to make the tax burden there 30% or 32, yeah. returning to social justice, we must evaluate the tax system by the indicator of income distribution among the population, and even with a flat income tax scale, the entire tax system successfully

performs this function; for example, we have decel coefficients that correlate 10. incomes of 10 10% of the highest paid citizens with 10% of those who receive the lowest incomes in the country, this coefficient in 2008 was about six, in 2000 it was also six, that is, this is a low coefficient in comparison with others countries where the difference in income is tens of times, that is, we are essentially talking about the stratification of society, that is, yes, in many countries of the world, including developed ones, and these parameters are simply off the charts compared to belarusian ones, we have always managed to limit the spread

these indicators, that is, we have a small difference between wealthy and low-income citizens, it exists , of course, but it is absolutely true, and if we talk about the share of our citizens, workers who receive wages above 10,000 rubles per month, then their share is 0.3% of total number of citizens, and if we talk about those at whom this norm is aimed, 2000 per year or 16 people in the country receive an income of more than 2000 rubles. yes. and these 2,000 people are exactly the category that will be affected by this measure. these are income

tax changes. but i think that we need to look at the progressive tax system more broadly - this is the first step, we are starting to introduce elements of progressive taxation into the system, and of course, 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, we have already said that the price for the budget, or more precisely, the revenues that are expected with an increase in tax burdens for a limited number 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. valery ivanovich, you mentioned most of the speakers

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... compelling state policies, we have prepared a story on this topic , let's take a look, please remember the famous presidential, i wanted the banking system not to be, i quote people, with a bunch of fat cats, then in 2017 no one advertised awards and bonuses of top managers of banks, no one except the president, so the whole country learned what he was talking about, it was somehow not accepted, the salaries of the heads of financial institutions are 20-30 times higher than the salaries... there is an abyss of ordinary workers, it seems, commercial structures , you have the right to manage your profits yourself, if not for one thing, banks operate within the country , they earn at the expense of its citizens and

enterprises, expensive loans, including a source of excess income, you can build such a system that you will receive a penny in 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 must be earned, the issue of earned, but in fact , the fairness of salaries at a higher level has been raised more than once, from the recent also resonant belarusian retail, that sphere, where business, speech in the owners of retail chains are not poor, 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 we must understand, this is not a reproach of the president to the top managers in large income, business is still risks and responsibility, and first of all for people, hundreds of thousands of workers, to whom you, as an employer, are answerable 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 so that everyone can see

other people’s millions of owners of retail chains, but then so that they can see how much an ordinary worker receives with such income, many will say after what they see. you need to bring it to the people, the sellers, here’s 800 or 1,000 rubles your salary, here’s 50-60,000 rubles these so-called owners. no one is against business making money, but your employees also need to 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. therefore, very often, especially our judicial corps, and us. making a vertical decision decisions, we rely on justice. it is quite logical that a fair approach should be the basis, for example, of pricing and 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... they don’t pay, but all individual entrepreneurs, from journalists, for example, at sea, to officials, so here we need to put things in order, the task they put it on purpose, ip , and this is no secret for a long time, they take advantage of loopholes in the laws by imploring the scale of the business, because if you deliberately fragment your company by registering a dozen individual entrepreneurs, taxes will not become a heavy burden, the authorities see this , the tax authorities understand how you can do it under the guise of ip big business at frankly. so now they will be offered a mode of transformation into a small medium-sized organization, corresponding to the status and scale of the tax burden, so that everyone is fair.

this logic follows in relation to rural sportavni tourism seems to have promised benefits 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. hotels were built. for god's sake, i'm not against it, but pay taxes like all hotel complexes, they built restaurants that are chic in nature, i don't mind either, and cafes and restaurants, let it be, but pay taxes like the rest of the restaurant business, no, they have benefits designed themselves as agroecotourism, that’s all normal, otherwise it’s a shame that the owners of real agricultural estates have to work for much less money than those who simply rent out houses and roll up... questionnaires. a fair approach to people is mentioned in almost every presidential address to the people and parliament. this is both a measure of the effective work of government and a guarantor of a balanced distribution

of social benefits. from shocks. our policy is built on simple, understandable principles. the first principle is fairness. the demand for justice will increase. the people are the only source of state authorities and bearer of sovereignty. this norm of the 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 throughout the world in belarus. in society, its importance is also not diminished; this is one of the conditions for sovereignty, the president is convinced. fortunately , adherence to these principles gives us hope that we will not have to jeopardize the conditions of independence. social 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... first of all, dmitriyvich , i would like to say that the stratification of our citizens by income level is, well, even our advantage to some extent, here is our virtual absence of stratification, a very minimal value, it exists, it is objective, but we are one of the five countries among all members of our world community. with a minimum level of income distribution, which this gives? this is, first of all, social stability, social stability, as a result, this is the attractiveness of our jurisdiction, our country jurisdiction for locating a business, for investment, for developing this business, so when we say that business is highly paid citizens, more, most of it becomes,

becomes . most 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, having spent a little more, more, we can guarantee that this will lead to even greater earnings, let’s say, by attracting buyers, through advertising. as part of a responsible business, well, due to such a social consensus, which we constantly strive for by taking various actions, including in the field of taxation, so this is a very important, not only a social category, it is an economic category, i would say, that is if we deviate from this principle in economic relations, there will be undesirable

the consequences for our country, for our people, are valued most of all, of course, and 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, he says, well, this is colossal, this is colossal, it turns out that we are in approximately the same conditions, we do not have people who do not visit certain districts, there are no people who, i don’t know, live there in some kind of bohemian life, that is, we are all we are in approximately the same conditions, and this is also our strength, yes, but this is connected not only with economic decisions , including decisions in the field of taxation, it is also a matter of educating a belarusian person, that is, a responsible attitude towards his social role, probably not sticking out his

advantages, by the way speaking, business too... ours behaves quite responsibly, i think that it will accept these decisions normally, they are also predictable decisions, that is, especially for individual entrepreneurs, a whole road map has been implemented, so it cannot be said that 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, well , remains stable or, in this case, assistance to those in need at the expense of earned profits , which remains 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, sponsorship is provided for

worthy treatment. our business based on its concept of its development, i understand that, i think that it treats these decisions with understanding and all these speculations, this is not... the berries of the belarusian field, let’s say, that is, these are slander, well, destructive forces that they are trying to present 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 , probably only large, highly profitable businesses, with individual entrepreneurs do the same thing, maxim leonidovich, well, let’s return to progressive taxation, but 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 you said that this is most likely

just the first step, but please tell me, are there any prerequisites for this in our belarusian society, are we ready and what consequences, that is, can occur as a result of this measure? after all , negative consequences are also possible, negative, i have in mind, attempts to fragment business, evade taxation, change the residence of our taxpayers, large ones, in order not to pay these increased taxes, in your opinion, today the tax system is an objective reality, mainly formed through indirect taxes, vat, excise taxes, vat , excise taxes, that is, taxes on consumption, our population, if you take it. the average household consumes about 70%, the rest goes to savings, this 70% is one way or another the purchase of goods, food,

non-food, and - purchase of services, services, yes, in these services, 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 really easier to collect, this is a tax that is paid when purchasing goods, so the share tax payments for families with a higher consumer burden, it is higher, yeah, it does not depend on income, so as to exclude this effect and increase social justice. to improve the efficiency of the system, it is necessary to gradually reduce consumption taxes 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 various mechanisms, we will not suggest them, but this is how society works, the progressive scale is not so tough in order to look for some options to 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 , for what to do this, it is better to pay this part of the tax, it is not so large, and live quietly without attracting the attention of the tax authorities, so i am convinced that this... will work better than any other methods of control by the tax authorities. yuri mikhailovich, your assessments as a professional financier are interesting; 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... from the opposite point of view, we can’t talk about the income of the republican budget at all, because income tax is credited to local budgets, that is , where the organization where the person works is registered, so from the point of view there , i’ll immediately say all sorts of insinuations, something will happen there for the defense, there for the law enforcement block, it is all financed from the republican budget, and this money will go exactly to those budgets that... where they are located in these localities, it is better, but we are talking about large sums, we have already discussed this here, that this is about 25 million rubles, and this is not, in general

, the money that will solve their problems, here is exactly what was said, this is a question of justice, there is a certain expediency, justice from more to ... means to retain a larger amount of funds, despite the fact that when purchasing some goods, no matter what they are, there is no taxation in this case for any citizens, this is how one of the other elements of this justice for commercial housing, where by and large account commercial real estate that is not used for housing, tax rates will increase if its size is up to 200 m2 twice over 400 m3, that is, if this property is used for commercial purposes, accordingly you have to pay real, which means taxes, from the market value of this square meter, this is the next, roughly speaking, element, 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 legal entities, we said yes, that an increased rate of income tax is being introduced for individual entrepreneurs, but this will inevitably lead to an increase in labor intensity, so we are collecting control, this is what maxim leonidovich spoke about, that it is necessary to ensure a high level of control, please tell me, is our tax system, tax administration system ready for these measures? the first, as already indicated for individuals, and for organizations, this will affect a small number of business entities, for example, an increased income tax rate, it will affect, according to our calculations, about 200 organizations out of 60,000

corporate income tax payers that we currently have . let me remind our viewers that we are talking about the fact that if during the tax period the taxable base for paying income tax exceeds 25 million rubles, then the increased income tax rate comes into force 25, 25%, yes, as for tax administration, today in the information systems of the service such a volume of data information 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 help payers, everyone, including individuals and organizations, individual entrepreneurs, fill out tax returns and pay taxes, that is... this so-called prefiling system,

when the tax service itself partially fills out the payer’s declarations based on the data, the information that we collect, accordingly, today it has shown itself to be very effective in terms of working with individuals, in terms of providing a declaration of total annual income for the past year we have already 95% of individuals who had to file declarations on their total annual income have used this service in their personal account, that is, we practically filled out the declaration for them, then they confirmed, added, confirmed something, changed something, signed and sent , then the same services are currently being developed for organizations, in terms of those that use a simplified taxation system, in terms of land tax, in terms of transport tax, that is

today we are ready to pay... calculate taxes, help him fill out declarations , all he has to do is, well, pay them on time, that is, our tax administration system as a whole is ready not only for such steps, but also for subsequent ones, nice hear, but we were interested in how belarusians would perceive a possible increase in taxes for a very narrow category of taxpayers receiving excess income, and we conducted a survey: on the streets of our cities. vox popul is the voice of the people on the main tv channel of the country. please. people who earn more are enough to park on the sidewalk every day and pay fines for it, the fines should be fully measured. well, these are taxes, they go to healthcare, education, which

is free in our country, so that’s good, i’m from london, we have a progressive tax, and it depends on how much you earn, how much, how much more you pay, if the average salary here is 2,000 rubles, then from what, from what small taxes will go to healthcare or so on, it turns out one person receives 2,000 rubles there, he gives the same part, and when the other has more opportunities, he can contribute more , so yes, i think everything is fair in russia, accordingly, it also makes a difference who receives, for example, 2,000 belarusian, who receives 500 belarusian and who gets 2000 belarusians, it turns out that the one who receives more can help more. we use services in the same way, in any state there is this system, if taxes are raised , accordingly, there are probably some specific reasons for this, which again have their confirmation, at the expense of this money we support our state, and if someone then the income is greater, they are accordingly,

as again in my opinion, they should probably pay more, i want to note that if a person can, he managed to earn his... this money, then maybe justice will be somehow violated here, because he tried, worked, there are entrepreneurs who live from their work and earn this big money, so i think there should be an approach here still individual, everyone fits the same mold, there is no talk of social justice, and we live in a social state, they provide a lot of jobs, there are enough different projects in which they participate, i know a lot of people like that, i have a lot of friends like that, so so i would probably still i settled on the fact that as it was , as we all have, leave the 13% income tax like that, regardless of how much a person earns, we are from the trans-baikal territory, from russia, we recently talked about this topic, more money, more responsibility they should

still help, there were more budget injections for the necessary needs, like medicine, also housing and communal services, by the way, you have a very beautiful, clean city. it’s just great, for really rich people, to raise it to 25%, it won’t really affect their wallet, it seems to me, and for the state it is a plus, to invest in healthcare, sports, culture, tourism, so we fully support it, i myself have an ip, well, i think it’s wrong, how a person earns money, well, he creates such opportunities to earn money, and those who earn 2,000, well, they seem to be capable of that, but this is not an argument for you to start earning money. more, that is, we need to raise it, well, the whole of europe lives like this, the whole world lives like this, whoever earns more should bring more, there’s another question, transparency of the tax system, where these tax payments will go next, well, that is, this is also quite important, let’s say, if we withdraw certain tax funds to support a certain type of activity there, for medicine, for teachers,

but is our country ready for economy, are private owners ready? well , of course, our story does not pretend to be a representative sociological survey, we saw different opinions, but in general this is the impression, and we talked with our reporters, the journalists who conducted these surveys, they say, of course, most people, when they understand what we are talking about, they support this approach, the progressive system, so that people who receive, well, super income

are approximately the same as our citizens on the street, that is, how much they should pay, where are the boundaries of rational, rational tax burden, whether we or we fit within these boundaries, but i must say that there is no single opinion, and tax systems are influenced by, well, so many factors, including populism, probably in one area or another, in certain countries, traditions some? which have developed, here, but to your question, uh, well, probably , there are no exotic systems of progressive taxation in principle, because the system itself, it is a generally accepted, generally accepted system, progressive taxation, another question is what rates

taxpayers face when they pay tax, when we talk about 25% and we argue, including we saw in the story, that this is supposedly unfair, and this is a lot, uh, and we had such reasoning, in particular regarding htp residents, when people they said, or the lobbyists of this system said that they don’t visit hospitals anyway, because they go to private centers, why should they pay...
