Almost 40 Belarusian IT companies with a total of 2,000 employees have moved to Ukraine in the last six months, Mykhailo Fedorov, minister for Digital Transformation, tells Interfax-Ukraine. The emigration south has been prompted by police violence following Alexander Lukashenko’s assumption of presidential powers after the presidential election of last August and by a nearly 50% hike in IT income taxes, to 13%, effective Jan. 1.
