Belarusian authorities expand list of activities not requiring registration to improve employment and step up tax inflow

The situation has not changed

The list of activities not requiring registration as private entrepreneurship will be extended to 30 from 18. To carry out such activity, an individual should simply notify the tax authorities of the commencement of operations and pay taxes before commencing. It is expected that there would be an increase in the number of people who would work without registration. In addition, fewer people would be fined for violating existing legislation, fewer would register as unemployed, competition on the service market would increase and prices would go down. Given the simplicity of declaration and low tax rates, the state should obtain additional tax revenues. In addition, this measure would address the issue of social dependants and reduce competition on the labour market.
