Anti-sponge campaign postponed

Finalised draft Decree was to appear yesterday, but so far it has not been published.

-Could you tell us how to pay a sponge tax? Will have a person to go to the Tax Organization after expiring of six months term, in case he was laid off and did not manage to find a new job? - a correspondent of Komsomolskaya Pravda in Belarus called Vasil Kamenka, the Deputy Minister for Taxes and Duties.

- This tax is considered in various forms, and we should take a long way before the final version is adopted. So we have nothing to talk about, Vasil Kamenka said.

- But it was told that the Decree should be published soon…

- Perhaps, it may happen this year or even later. The head of the State considered it. It was decided to refine it; there are still a lot of controversial issues. Indeed, if we take all reality situations, it will be impossible to consider them all. It is done to avoid such situations as you've mentioned: whether he was fired or something else... I guess it's the right of a person to seek for a job, and it doesn't matter whether he is a success or not. But all terms will be defined a little later.
