Baranavichy: Mikalai Charnavus intends to hold rally against increase of business tax
The Baranavichy entrepreneur Mikalai
Charnavus applied to the Baranavichy City Executive Committee to
receive an official permission for holding a rally against the
increase of the tax on business on 12 February.
"The
Brest City Executive Committee decided to increase the tax for
individual entrepreneurs by 50%. We know for sure that in some cities
of the Brest region the tax was increased even more. That's why
Baranavichy entrepreneurs decided to express their protest against
the increase of the tax which makes our business activities hopeless
and unprofitable," said Mikalai Charnavus.
The activist
wants to hold the rally not in the desolate old park, determined by
the authorities as suitable for outdoor events, but in Fabrychnaya
Street. In his application he also expressed the wish that the head
of the Brest Region Executive Committee would come to the event. He
also submitted an appropriate invitation to the official.
