For the first half of 2013, the population fund budget received 1.3 billion rubles less than expected. Who is in debt? Valentin IGNATENKO, Head of the Lepel District Department of the Social Protection Fund of the Population, answers this question at the request of the editorial office.

12 business entities have overdue debt on mandatory payments: OJSC "Lepelpromshveymebel", OJSC "Ladna", OJSC "Chareyshchina", OJSC "Ladasno", KUPShGP "Bobrovo", OJSC "Lepelagriservice", DSG "Lepelskaya SS", KUVSGP "Lepelskoye", Dražna branch of ZAT "Vitebskagropred", SFG "Pozemshchina", LLC "Steifi-Group", Lepel branch of OJSC "Chashniki flax mill". Ten agricultural enterprises were granted deferral (instalment) of payments until January 1, 2020, in accordance with Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus No. 34 of January 24, 2011 "On Certain Issues of Agricultural Organizations". The sole condition for the Decree to be effective is the timely and full payment of current payments. Failure to pay them has led to the suspension of state support in the form of payment deferrals to the Fund for OJSC "Chareyshchina", OJSC "Ladasno", KUVSGP "Bobrovo", OJSC "Lepelagriservice", DSG "Lepelskaya SS".

Meanwhile, non-payment or incomplete payment of contributions to the Social Protection Fund of the Population entails administrative liability for the payers in accordance with Article 11.54 of the Code of the Republic of Belarus "On Administrative Offences" in the form of a fine amounting to twenty percent of the accrued (additional) amount of the specified payments.

In accordance with Article 51 of the Law of the Republic of Belarus "On Pension Provision", work during which insurance contributions were paid in the manner and amounts established by law is included in the work experience of individuals. Thus, if an employer has not transferred insurance contributions for any period, this period is excluded from the total work experience when a pension is assigned.

We remind the heads of business entities with overdue debt that under the conditions of personalised accounting, information about the non-payment of insurance contributions by employers is reflected when processing a pension.
