Belarus moves closer to enacting its first income tax treaty with Jordan after lower house approval, with final ratification pending in the upper chamber before entry into force.
The Belarus House of Representatives (lower house of the National Assembly) has approved the country’s first income tax treaty with Jordan through Resolution No. 306-P8/III on 17 April 2026.
The resolution was published on the National Legal Internet Portal of Belarus the following day.
This tax agreement represents the first such arrangement between Belarus and Jordan, aimed at preventing double taxation and facilitating economic cooperation between the nations.
The treaty, which was signed on 16 December 2025, now requires approval from the Council of the Republic, the upper chamber of Belarus’s National Assembly. Once both chambers complete the ratification process, the agreement will enter into force after the two countries exchange ratification instruments.
Earlier, Belarus and Jordan signed an income tax treaty during the Belarus-Africa Forum in Moscow on 16 December 2025.
