Why is Belarus one of the most attractive countries in the IT world?

For several years now, the Republic of Belarus has occupied one of the leading places in the world in terms of conducting IT business. This is largely due to the presence in Belarus of a special taxation regime for IT companies – the High Technologies Park.

Introduction

Today the Hi-Tech Park unites more than 1000 companies, most of them are companies with foreign capital. The HTP has one of the most attractive IT tax regimes in the world, namely:

– Income tax – 0%;

– Income tax for employees – 13%;

– Payments to social funds are minimal and depend on the average salary in the country.

EOR for IT companies and projects in Belarus: why is it profitable?

And this is beneficial because taxation in this area in Belarus is minimal. As stated above, taxes per employee will be approximately 13% + social security contributions. We are talking about a total rate of 18%. With such a rate, none of the neighboring countries simply can compete.

As you know, the level of development of the IT industry in Belarus is also very high. IT education is also at a very high level: the vast majority of IT specialists speak English and the vast majority of people employed in the IT field have specialized education.

You can read this information here.

How are our relationships with customers on EOR services formalized? How much does the service cost per 1 (one) person?

When founders look at the post-Soviet space for an engineering base, two destinations come up almost every time: Belarus’s High Tech Park and Armenia’s Engineering City.

One is a country-wide tax […]
