>Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A foreign investor who wants Belarusian real estate \u2014 an office, a warehouse, a rental building \u2014 usually assumes they will simply buy it in their own name. In Belarus that is often not the clean route, for a reason most people do not expect: foreign persons cannot own land here. Under the Code on Land, a foreign organisation may only lease land, not own it, so a building sits on leased ground \u2014 and holding the whole thing personally as a non-resident adds its own tax on rent and on sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standard, and usually better, structure is to hold the real estate through a <a href=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/eng\/news\/can-foreigner-own-100-percent-company-belarus\">Belarusian company you own outright<\/a>: the company owns the building, holds the land on a lease, pays the local property taxes, and \u2014 the part that pays off years later \u2014 gives you two ways out. You can sell the property, or you can sell the company. Those two exits are taxed very differently, and the tempting one \u2014 selling the company to avoid re-registration \u2014 does not always escape Belarusian tax. This piece is the structure, the tax, the registration and the exit, in that order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is general information, not legal advice. Real-estate tax and treaty positions are fact-specific and change, so confirm the current position for your property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_a_company_not_your_own_name\"><\/span><strong>Why a company, not your own name<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two facts push foreign real-estate ownership into a company. The first is land: a foreign organisation cannot own a land plot in Belarus under the <a href=\"https:\/\/pravo.by\/document\/?guid=3871&amp;p0=hk0800425\">Code on Land<\/a> \u2014 it can only lease one \u2014 so there is no route to owning the ground your building stands on directly. The second is tax: a non-resident holding Belarusian property in its own name is taxed on the income it earns from that property, on rent and on sale, as a non-resident, which is administratively heavier and often costlier than the resident route. A Belarusian company that you <a href=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/eng\/news\/can-foreigner-own-100-percent-company-belarus\">own 100%<\/a> solves both \u2014 it is a resident that can own the building, hold the land lease and be taxed on ordinary resident terms \u2014 which is why the company-holding structure is the norm here, not a workaround. Setting up the <a href=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/eng\/pages\/open-company-in-belarus\">company<\/a> is the first step of buying the property, not a separate project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Residential_property_and_the_narrow_exceptions\"><\/span><strong>Residential property and the narrow exceptions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One nuance for completeness: the land bar is not absolute for individuals. A foreign citizen can, in narrow cases \u2014 chiefly residential plots, dachas or garden plots received by inheritance \u2014 hold land in private ownership, and a foreign individual can generally own a house or flat that sits on leased land. But for the commercial real estate this article is about \u2014 offices, warehouses, rental buildings held for investment \u2014 the company-holding structure remains the route, and the land under a commercial building is leased whoever owns the building. Treat the residential exceptions as exactly that: exceptions that do not change the commercial picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_the_company_can_and_cant_own\"><\/span><strong>What the company can and can\u2019t own<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The split between building and land is the thing to internalise. The company can own the building, the premises or the structure outright and put it to commercial use \u2014 let it, operate from it, sell it. The land beneath it, though, holds on a lease, because even a Belarusian company owned by foreigners is, for most sites, in the leased-land world that the <a href=\"https:\/\/etalonline.by\/document\/?regnum=hk0800425\">Code on Land<\/a> sets for foreign investors. So the ground under your asset is a contract, not a title: a lease with a term, a renewal, and lease payments. That is not a defect \u2014 it is simply how commercial land is held here by foreign-owned entities \u2014 but it shapes both the running cost and the exit, because whoever buys the building later also steps into the land lease. Structure the holding as an <a href=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/eng\/pages\/open-llc-in-belarus\">LLC<\/a> and the building sits cleanly inside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_purchase_itself_how_the_company_acquires_the_property\"><\/span><strong>The purchase itself: how the company acquires the property<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between deciding to buy and owning the asset sits the transaction, and it has its own diligence. Before the company signs, check the property the way you would check a counterparty: confirm the seller\u2019s title on the register, look for encumbrances \u2014 mortgages, arrests, third-party rights \u2014 and read the land lease, because you are inheriting its term, its rent and its conditions along with the building. The purchase then runs as a contract of sale, the title is re-registered to the company on the real-estate register, and the land lease is re-issued or assigned to the new owner. For a building bought from an existing owner, the land underneath does not become yours to own \u2014 it stays a lease, now in the company\u2019s name. Get the property diligence right before signing, not after: a clean-looking building on a problematic lease, or with an encumbrance you missed, is a problem you buy along with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"701\" src=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/real-estate-sector-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4988\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/real-estate-sector-1024x701.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/real-estate-sector-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/real-estate-sector-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/real-estate-sector-1536x1051.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/real-estate-sector-2048x1401.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Registration\"><\/span><strong>Registration<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ownership is recorded on a register, and getting on it correctly matters as much as the purchase. Title to the building is registered in the unified state register of real estate, the rights to it and transactions with it \u2014 run by the <a href=\"https:\/\/nca.by\/\">National Cadastral Agency<\/a> and its territorial organisations \u2014 and the land right is registered as a lease. The <a href=\"https:\/\/etalonline.by\/document\/?regnum=h10200133\">registration law<\/a> sets the procedure. In practice the company appears on the register as the owner of the building and the lessee of the land, and both entries are what a bank, a tax office and a future buyer will rely on. As with the corporate register, the entry, not the contract, is what the outside world sees \u2014 so the registration step is the one that makes your ownership real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_taxes_while_you_hold\"><\/span><strong>The taxes while you hold<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holding and letting property through the company carries an ordinary, predictable tax footprint. There is <a href=\"https:\/\/nalog.gov.by\/\">real-estate tax<\/a> on the building; lease payments for the land, rather than land tax, because the company does not own the land; profit tax on rental income if the property is let; and VAT on the rent and on a later sale. Rent is received into the company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/eng\/pages\/bank-account\/\">bank account<\/a> and runs through its <a href=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/eng\/pages\/accounting-services-in-belarus\/\">books<\/a> like any other revenue, and the property\u2019s taxes are part of the annual cycle our <a href=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/eng\/news\/corporate-tax-belarus\/\">corporate-tax<\/a> guide sets out. None of it is unusual for a resident company that owns and lets a building \u2014 the point is simply to budget it as an ongoing cost of holding, not to be surprised by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_exit_sell_the_property_or_sell_the_company\"><\/span><strong>The exit: sell the property, or sell the company<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is where the structure earns its keep, because there are two ways out and they are taxed very differently. An asset sale \u2014 the company sells the building \u2014 triggers profit tax on the gain and VAT, and the buyer takes on the land lease and re-registers the title in their name. A share sale \u2014 you sell the company itself, by transferring the participation interest \u2014 keeps the property with the entity, avoids VAT and any property re-registration, and moves ownership simply by moving the stake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The share sale looks obviously cleaner, and often it is \u2014 but here is the sting most people miss. Selling the company does not automatically escape Belarusian tax, because a company whose value is mostly Belarusian real estate is treated specially: a non-resident\u2019s gain on selling shares in such a \u201creal-estate-rich\u201d company can be taxed in Belarus, subject to whatever double-tax treaty applies. So the choice between the two exits is not \u201casset sale is taxed, share sale is free\u201d \u2014 it is a genuine comparison of profit tax and VAT on one side against a taxable share gain, and treaty relief, on the other. The table below lays them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Treaties_and_the_exit_where_the_owner_sits_matters\"><\/span><strong>Treaties and the exit: where the owner sits matters<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exit tax on a share sale turns on a document you may not have thought about when you bought: the double-tax treaty between Belarus and the country where you, the owner, are resident. Ordinarily a treaty might give the right to tax a share gain to the seller\u2019s home country \u2014 which is what makes a share sale look tax-free in Belarus. But many modern treaties carry a \u201cland-rich company\u201d clause that hands the taxing right back to Belarus precisely where the company\u2019s value is mostly Belarusian real estate, which is your situation. So whether the share-sale gain is taxed in Belarus depends on your specific treaty, and two owners selling identical companies can face different outcomes purely because they are resident in different countries. This is why treaty advice belongs at the start, when you choose where to hold the company from \u2014 not at the exit, when the choice is already made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Structure_it_right_from_the_start\"><\/span><strong>Structure it right from the start<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the exit is where the tax lands, the exit should shape the structure before you buy. If you expect to sell the property to an operating buyer one day, an asset sale may be the natural end, and the structure can be simple. If you expect to sell the investment as a whole, a clean single-asset <a href=\"https:\/\/opencompanyinbelarus.com\/eng\/news\/holding-structures-belarus\/\">holding company<\/a> makes a share sale straightforward \u2014 one property, one entity, easy for a buyer to diligence and take over. Either way, keep the company\u2019s records and the property title clean throughout, and \u2014 if you are a non-resident owner \u2014 take treaty advice early, because which treaty applies can change the exit maths entirely. Decide the holding structure with the exit in mind, not the purchase alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_worked_example_the_warehouse_and_the_two_exits\"><\/span><strong>A worked example: the warehouse and the two exits<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put it together. A foreign investor buys a warehouse near Minsk through a Belarusian company they own, on land the company leases; the company lets the warehouse and pays real-estate tax, land lease payments, profit tax on the rent and VAT along the way. Years later a buyer appears. If the investor takes the asset route, the company sells the warehouse: it pays profit tax on the gain and VAT, the buyer re-registers the title and steps into the land lease, and the investor is left holding an empty company to wind down. If instead they take the share route, they sell the company: no VAT, no property re-registration, the warehouse and its lease stay put \u2014 but the gain on the shares may still be taxable in Belarus under the real-estate-rich rule, subject to their treaty. Same warehouse, same price; the tax, and the paperwork, depend entirely on which exit \u2014 and that is a decision better modelled at purchase than discovered at sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_mistakes_foreign_owners_make\"><\/span><strong>Common mistakes foreign owners make<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A handful of errors recur. The first is trying to buy the land \u2014 a foreign owner cannot, and time spent chasing land ownership is time wasted. The second is holding the property personally as a non-resident, taking on non-resident income tax that the company structure avoids. The third is assuming the share-sale exit is automatically tax-free, and being surprised by the real-estate-rich company rule at sale. The fourth is forgetting the VAT on an asset sale when modelling the numbers. The fifth is neglecting the land lease \u2014 its term, its renewal, its rent \u2014 and finding at exit that a buyer balks at a lease with only a few years left. And the sixth is skipping the property diligence and buying an encumbrance along with the building. Every one of them comes from treating a Belarusian property purchase as just a purchase, rather than a structured hold with a planned exit. Get the structure and the exit right at the outset and the property is a clean, saleable asset; get them wrong and you own something harder to sell than it was to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two_ways_out_the_property_or_the_company\"><\/span><strong>Two ways out: the property or the company<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same asset, two exits \u2014 and the share sale is cleaner, not automatically tax-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><\/th><th><strong>Asset sale<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Share sale<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>What is sold<\/strong><\/td><td>The building itself<\/td><td>The company (its participation interest)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>The land<\/strong><\/td><td>The buyer takes on the land lease<\/td><td>The lease stays with the company \u2014 no re-lease<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Profit \/ gain tax<\/strong><\/td><td>The company pays profit tax on the gain<\/td><td>The seller pays on the stake gain \u2014 and the \u201creal-estate-rich company\u201d rule can tax a non-resident here<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>VAT<\/strong><\/td><td>Applies to the sale of the building<\/td><td>No VAT on a share sale<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Re-registration<\/strong><\/td><td>Title re-registered to the buyer<\/td><td>No property re-registration \u2014 the owner just changes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Best when<\/strong><\/td><td>The buyer wants only the asset<\/td><td>You want a clean transfer and to keep the entity<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>*General guide; the tax outcome depends on the property, the numbers and any double-tax treaty, so model both routes for your case.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"hfaq\">\n    <div class=\"hfaq__container\">\n        <div class=\"hfaq__wrapper\">\n\t\t\t            <h2 class=\"hfaq__title title title-lg\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"hfaq__items\">\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">Can a foreigner own real estate in Belarus?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>A foreigner can own a building or premises, but not the land under it \u2014 foreign persons cannot own land in Belarus, only lease it.

It is the ordinary tax footprint of a resident company holding and letting a building.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">How is rental income taxed?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>As the company\u2019s profit \u2014 profit tax on the rental income, with VAT on the rent \u2014 received into the company\u2019s account and run through its books like any revenue. Holding through the company means resident-company taxation rather than the non-resident income tax that direct foreign ownership attracts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">Is it better to sell the property or the company?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>It depends. An asset sale (selling the building) means profit tax and VAT and re-registration, with the buyer taking the land lease. A share sale (selling the company) avoids VAT and re-registration and keeps the property in the entity. The share sale is often cleaner \u2014 but not automatically tax-free, because of the real-estate-rich company rule.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">Does selling the company avoid Belarusian tax?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>Not necessarily. A non-resident\u2019s gain on selling shares in a company whose assets are mostly Belarusian real estate can be taxed in Belarus, subject to the applicable double-tax treaty. So a share sale is not an automatic tax escape \u2014 it is a different tax question from an asset sale, and one to model with treaty advice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">Do I need to be in Belarus to buy or hold the property?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>No. The holding company can be set up and the property acquired, registered and managed largely remotely, through a representative under a power of attorney, with foreign documents legalised and translated. Being a non-resident owner shapes the tax, not whether you can do it from abroad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">How does the company actually buy the property?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>Much like any purchase, with property diligence first: check the seller\u2019s title on the register, look for encumbrances, and read the land lease you will inherit. The purchase runs as a contract of sale, the title is re-registered to the company, and the land lease is re-issued in the company\u2019s name. The land stays leased, not owned.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">Does a double-tax treaty stop Belarus taxing my share sale?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>Sometimes, but often not for real estate. Many treaties contain a \u201cland-rich company\u201d clause that lets Belarus tax a non-resident\u2019s gain on shares in a company whose value is mostly Belarusian real estate \u2014 exactly this case. Whether the gain is taxed in Belarus depends on your specific treaty, so it is worth checking before you choose where to hold the company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">Can I get residence or a visa from owning property?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>Owning Belarusian real estate can support certain long-term visa applications, but it is not an automatic route to residence, and it is a different question from the tax and structuring covered here. If immigration is part of your goal, treat it as a separate matter to plan alongside the holding structure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"accordion\">\n                        <div class=\"accordion__head\">What are the common mistakes?<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"accordion__body\">\n                            <div class=\"accordion__inner\"><p>Trying to buy land (you cannot); holding personally as a non-resident; assuming a share sale is tax-free; forgetting VAT on an asset sale; neglecting the land lease term; and skipping property diligence.
