Strategic management & compliance solutions for HTP residents in Belarus
Navigating the regulatory landscape of the Belarusian IT sector requires more than standard administrative support. For residents of the Hi-Tech Park (HTP), operational efficiency is directly linked to strict adherence to specific legal frameworks, most notably Decree No. 8. Our firm provides integrated management services designed specifically for HTP companies operating with international stakeholders.
We combine local legislative expertise with global business standards. Our team consists of English-speaking managers, accountants, HR specialists, lawyers, and tax consultants who have spent years managing compliance for foreign entities across multiple jurisdictions. We bridge the gap between Belarusian regulatory requirements and the operational expectations of international tech companies.
The Hi-Tech Park in Belarus functions as a special economic zone with a distinct legal regime. While the tax benefits — such as the corporate profit tax exemption and VAT exemptions — are significant, they come with rigorous reporting standards. Misclassification of activities or incorrect payroll processing can jeopardise resident status.
Our approach focuses on sustainable growth within the HTP framework. We do not simply process documents; we align your internal processes with the Administration of the Hi-Tech Park requirements. This ensures that your company leverages all available incentives without exposing itself to regulatory risk.
For companies using Belarus as a regional development centre, we provide comprehensive acting management and administrative support. This includes day-to-day company administration, office logistics, vendor coordination, and end-to-end liaison with Belarusian state authorities — including the Ministry of Taxes and Duties, Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Labour, customs authorities, and the Hi-Tech Park Administration. Our managers handle regulatory correspondence, represent your interests during official inquiries, and ensure timely compliance with all statutory reporting obligations. Operating fluently in English, our team ensures seamless integration with your global management structure while maintaining full alignment with local regulatory expectations.
Our accountants specialise in the Hi-Tech Park fiscal regime under Decree No. 8. We handle statutory reporting, transfer pricing documentation for cross-border agreements, and payroll taxation with correct application of HTP social security exemptions. We provide full representation during tax audits and resolve inquiries from the Ministry of Taxes and Duties. Our focus: audit-ready records and tax optimisation within Belarusian IT legislation.
Retaining technical talent requires flexible HR policies within Belarusian labour law. Our consultants manage HTP-compliant employment agreements, including remote work provisions and visa support for relocating specialists. We implement legally recognised incentive structures, including ESOPs and bonus schemes, and administer payroll in BYN, USD, or EUR with correct application of HTP social security exemptions. We provide ongoing advisory on labour law updates and employee relations to minimise legal risk while supporting your talent strategy in Belarus.
Establishing a compliant corporate structure is critical for foreign investors in Belarus. Our English-speaking legal team supports Hi-Tech Park residents with HTP registration, contract negotiation with the Park Administration, and drafting of IP agreements, NDAs, and client contracts under Belarusian law. We develop internal corporate policies — including labour, data protection, and anti-corruption frameworks — alongside regulator-mandated documentation on occupational health and safety, fire safety, and environmental compliance. Our corporate secretarial service maintains shareholder registries, prepares meeting protocols, and files changes with the Unified State Register in Minsk. We also conduct sanctions and AML compliance checks, providing foreign subsidiaries with the regulatory certainty required for sustainable operations in Belarus.
Expert recruitment for HTP companies.
HTP stands for Hi-Tech Park — a special economic zone designated by the government to foster innovation and development in the IT sector. Its residents enjoy significant tax benefits, including corporate profit tax and VAT exemptions. Beyond that, HTP companies operate within a simplified regulatory framework, gain access to a skilled workforce, and find real opportunities for international cooperation. Together, these advantages create a favourable environment in which IT businesses can thrive and contribute to the country’s economic growth.
A Belarusian entity must have a local executive body from the day of registration, and a work permit for a foreign director can only be obtained through an already functioning management body. A management company closes this gap: it acts as the statutory executive body and runs day-to-day management, accounting, HR and banking from day one, while the parent company keeps full strategic control.
One fixed fee replaces a director, an accountant, an HR specialist and a lawyer on payroll. There are no payroll taxes on the fee, no severance and no cost of hiring and replacing staff, and every function has a backup person, so the company does not depend on one employee’s availability.
Yes. We negotiate and execute the office lease, pay utilities and vendor invoices, sign contracts with suppliers and keep procurement documentation in the form required for HTP reporting.
The fee is fixed and monthly, under a service agreement that defines the scope: statutory management, accounting, HR and payroll, banking and reporting. We send a proposal after the initial call, once we understand the size of the team and the volume of operations.
More than 10 years of work with HTP residents, an English-speaking team, in-house accountants, HR specialists and lawyers, and direct working contact with the HTP Administration — questions are resolved quickly and without intermediaries.
Most foreign founders carry the same mental model into a distribution. The subsidiary earns a profit, profit tax is paid, the shareholders declare a dividend, and the money lands in the parent’s account minus a single withholding line. It is a clean picture, and for a company incorporated in a calmer jurisdiction it would mostly […]
In international business, the right base can quietly reshape your margins. Georgia, sitting at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia, has spent the last decade turning itself into a magnet for technology companies, borrowing heavily from the Estonian model of taxing profit only when it leaves the business. For IT founders the appeal […]
Ask a foreign founder what VAT their Belarusian High-Tech Park entity pays, and the answer is almost always the same: “Nothing — we’re exempt.” It is a reasonable belief, and most of the time it produces the right number. But it is the wrong mental model, and the gap between the model and the mechanics […]
