Illegal private tutors and hairdressers’ tax will be collected five-fold

The innovation will also concern housewives, DJs, weddings emcees, and persons breeding cats and dogs.

BelTA has been informed about that at the press-service of the Ministry of Taxation.

The change concerns the kinds of activities named in the Articles 295 and 296 of the Tax Code. Services of housemaids, beauty parlours, musical services and holding ceremonies (weddings, jubilees), breeding of cats and dogs are meant as well.

The Ministry of Taxation reminded that physical persons, who under a declarative principle want to be engaged in the services under Article 295 of the Tax Code, first are to offer a written notification to the tax inspection according to the place of residence. Concrete types of activity a person wants to be occupied with are to be written there, as well as the period and places of being engaged in these activities. Besides, one should pay the single tax.

- In case spotting the facts of carrying out such activities by physical persons without paying the single tax since January 1, 2015, it is to be collected by the tax inspection five-fold. In the same way, a tax agency is to use a coefficient of 5 when calculating the single tax when it would be detected that citizens who are not registered as sole traders, are carrying out business activities listed in the Article 296 of the Tax Code, - the Ministry of Taxation explained.
