The termination act enters into force on 1 July 2025.

Estonia has published law in its Official Gazette on 21 June 2025 to terminate the 1997 income tax treaty with Belarus, with the termination act entering into force on 1 July 2025.

To terminate the treaty, notice must be given at least six months before year-end, meaning the earliest termination date is 1 January 2026.

The move follows Belarus’s suspension of key treaty provisions—Articles 10 (Dividends), 11 (Interest), and 13 (Capital Gains)—effective from 1 June 2024.

Earlier, the Estonian parliament passed a law to terminate the 1997 income and capital tax treaty with Belarus on 18 June 2025.
