The bill has now been sent to the President for ratification.

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

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

The bill has now been sent to the President for ratification.

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

Earlier, Estonia’s government approved a draft law to terminate its 1997 tax treaty with Belarus on 29 May 2025.
