Transport tax in Belarus 2026: who is entitled to a 50% discount and how to pay through ERIP

In 2026, Belarusians pay property taxes for 2025. The transport tax is now included in the single property payment – together with the real estate tax and land tax. All you need to pay in one amount until November 16, 2026 inclusive (the deadline has been postponed from Sunday, November 15 to the next Monday). Collected in the article the current conditions for the payment of transport tax in Belarus.

Transport tax rates in 2026

From 2026, rates are indexed. Current tariffs for individuals for passenger cars:

Authorized mass

Bet (BYN)

1.5 t

1.5 to 1.75 t

1.75 to 2 t

124

2.25 t

148

2.25 to 2.5 t

177

2.5 to 3 t

196

over 3 tons

For motorcycles, the base rate is 49 BYN. However, for powerful motorcycles (engine volume from 800 cm3, category L3-L5, since the year of release of which has not passed five years), the tax is increased 5 times - 245 BYN for individuals.

“Tax rates have, in principle, remained unchanged from last year. The amount of taxes increased slightly, but this is due to the fact that they are annually indexed to the inflation rate. Therefore, most citizens will not notice any significant increases in tax amounts compared to last year, said Denis Tereshkov, deputy head of the main department.

For owners of luxury cars (up to three years old), the rate increases by 10 times. In 2026, about 3 thousand cars fell under increased taxation (a year earlier - about 500).

Who is entitled to a 50% discount

The transport tax rate is reduced by 50% for the following categories of citizens:

1.Age pensioners, as well as persons who have reached the generally established retirement age with the right to reduce it
2.Veterans of the Great Patriotic War
3.Veterans of hostilities in the territory of other states
4.Disabled persons of groups I and II
5.Parents (adopters) in large families with three or more children under the age of 18 years

Important condition: the benefit is granted only if there is a valid driving license of the relevant category. That is, if the car is category B, then the rights must be category B. For trailers, semi-trailers and vehicles without type information, a driving licence of any category is sufficient.

25% discount for disabled people of Group III

Disabled persons of group III have a benefit in the form of a 25% reduction in the rate - provided that they have a valid driver's license of the corresponding category. This is the only category for which the transport tax provides a 25% discount.

Full exemption from transport tax

The following are fully exempt from tax:

1.Vehicles of military conscripts
2.Vehicles of persons performing alternative service
3.Stolen cars and vehicles that have left the ownership of the owner as a result of illegal actions (the fact is confirmed by the document of the authorized body)
4.Vehicles specially equipped for use by people with disabilities – if there is a corresponding entry in the registration certificate
5.Vehicles produced before 1992 (for cars of 1992 release tax is already required)
6.Electric cars – the privilege is valid until December 31, 2025, so for 2025 (which should be paid in 2026) the tax is not charged.

In addition, local Councils of Deputies may fully or partially exempt the car owner from tax in case of a difficult life situation.

How the amount is formed and when the notification comes

The tax is calculated by the tax authority automatically on the basis of traffic police data. The tax is charged for all vehicles that were registered in 2025. If the transport was registered or deregistered during the year, the calculation is made in proportion to the number of months of ownership.

The Ministry will send official notifications no later than October 1, 2026 – by mail or in the personal account for those who have connected the electronic method of receiving notifications. However, in the personal account on the MNS website, the amounts appear earlier.

Information on preferential categories of citizens is received by the tax authorities from other state departments (Ministry of Labor, traffic police, etc.) and is taken into account in the calculation. If after applying benefits to payment there is a certain amount - the citizen receives a notice.
