Tax for words in foreign languages

Brest authorities have probably presented a most original surprise of the year. Now it will be necessary to pay 10 base amounts (310 thousand BRB) for outdoor signs containing inscriptions in foreign languages.
This “anti-foreign” tax will have to be paid monthly. The new regulation will concern auto shows, distributors of household appliances, cell phones and cigarettes. Even Belarusians may appear among the new tax payers.
