A tax innovation has been introduced for Belarusians. It concerns the implementation of certain administrative procedures.
Thus, from now on, when a person applies in person to the tax office, the application for those same procedures will be completed by an employee of the tax authority to which the individual applied.
The press service of the Ministry of Taxes and Duties specified which procedures tax officers now complete.
This is possible if we are talking about offsetting or refunding taxes, fees (duties), and penalties.
A similar approach is used to issue a certificate of payment of personal income tax, land tax and real estate tax in relation to the alienated real estate property.
In the latter case, we are talking about the alienation of a real estate property owned by a citizen of Belarus permanently residing outside the country, a foreigner, or a stateless person).
The employee will also issue a certificate of permanent residence of an individual in Belarus during the tax period (to avoid double taxation).
The same applies to the preparation of an extract from the tax authorities’ records on calculated and paid amounts of taxes, fees (duties), and penalties.
The Ministry of Taxes and Duties gave the following example: if a citizen needs to receive a statement of the taxes he has paid, he can contact any tax authority, regardless of his place of residence.
Next, you must present an identity document and inform the tax officer of the need to obtain an extract, as well as the period for which the data in the extract is needed.
After checking the identity document, the tax authority employee will independently fill out the application form on the computer, indicating all the necessary information.
He will also print out the completed application and provide it to the individual to verify the information specified in the application and to sign it.
The employee will accept the signed application for further work.
If, in order to carry out an administrative procedure, say, to process a refund of a state fee, it is necessary to attach any documents, they should also be provided to the employee.
The latter will enter the relevant information into the application and attach the documents to the application signed by the citizen.
