Polish Deal  – historic tax reduction

The Polish Deal is an effective plan to rebuild and develop our economy after the COVID-19 pandemic. One of its key projects is tax changes. The reform will benefit 18 million Poles, including 94 per cent of pensioners. The tax-free amount will increase to PLN 30,000. People who receive the minimum wage and about 2/3 of pensioners will not pay PIT at all – that is 9 million people. The 32 per cent tax will be paid by half as many people as before. After the reform, PLN 17 billion more than before will remail in the pockets of the Poles annually.
