Belarus to levy VAT on foreign e-commerce

The Eastern European state of Belarus has announced plans to charge its 20% VAT on purchases by its citizens of goods from foreign websites such as Amazon. There will be a VAT exempt threshold of below approximately $200 per transaction.

This would bring it into line with the European Union 28 states.
