Important Changes Have Been Introduced For Gift Tax In Belarus

When and to whom do I have to pay the fee?

Belarus has revised the amount of gifts, from which one shouldn't pay income tax in 2026. "Zerkalo" reminds how much such money can be received now, so as not to be taxed.

Incomes from gifts, which were not subject to income tax, amounted to Br11,516 in 2025. In 2026, officials have introduced a significant change: the total amount of such receipts can be up to Br12,000, but half (Br6,000) - from all sources in Belarus, the rest - from abroad.

The income tax should not be paid on these gifts. A 13% tax will be charged on the excess. In addition, it is necessary to file a tax return at the end of the year.

If the money lent by close relatives and it is reflected in the declaration of income and property, you do not have to pay tax. And regardless of the amount of the loan. But there is an exception, it concerns those whom the authorities consider "dependents".
