Dividend tax rate
In Belarus, dividend income is subject to a flat tax rate of 12%. The tax is deducted at the source, which means that taxpayers typically do not have to submit a separate return for their dividends. Non-residents are also taxed at the same 12% rate, but they may benefit from reductions if there are double taxation treaties in place. There may be specific exemptions available, especially for investments made in special economic zones or according to particular tax treaties.
