More money in Poles' wallets

The vast majority of citizens benefit from the new tax measures. The system is more transparent and, thanks to the new rates and income thresholds, even more money stays in the wallets of Polish women and men.

“The government of the Law and Justice party equals low taxes. The best confirmation of this is the tax refunds that are being transferred to the accounts of Poles today. Never in the history of the Third Republic have there been such high tax refunds in the settlement period. Let this be the best proof of what the government's tax policy is,” said the Prime Minister.

• We have reduced income tax rates twice - in October 2019 from 18% to 17%, and from January 2022 the 12% rate applies.  
• In addition, we raised the tax-free amount from PLN 3,091 to PLN 30,000. This means that no citizen pays PIT up to this amount. Thanks to this amendment, taxpayers do not pay PIT if they receive a salary or pension up to PLN 2,500 per month.
• From 2022, a new income threshold applies. It has been raised from just over PLN 85,000 to PLN 120,000. Up to this amount, a 12 per cent PIT applies, and only after exceeding the higher threshold is a 32 per cent tax paid.
• Zero PIT - we have exempted the following from income tax: under-26s, returnees to the country, families of 4+ and working seniors. Zero PIT applies to income up to PLN 85,528.
• We have introduced preferential income settlement for single parents. As a result, single parents do not pay tax up to PLN 60,000.
• Numerous tax reliefs for PIT and CIT taxpayers apply - R&D relief, prototype relief, robotisation relief, pro-growth relief, sponsorship relief, innovative employees relief.

“We have improved the lives of the wider middle class. We have improved their net salaries. We have also raised - for the first time in a dozen years – tax deductible expenses. We have higher net salaries, with lower tax rates, and therefore lower taxes. Especially the one that is of most interest to all citizens - the personal income tax,” said the head of the Polish government.

Record tax refunds for last year

The effect of the tax cuts and the solutions we have introduced are record refunds when settling PIT for 2022.  At least 15 million Poles will receive tax refunds amounting to around PLN 18 billion. So far, taxpayers have already filed more than 11 million returns, and the majority have been submitted electronically, mainly via Twój e-PIT.

“Our policy is low taxes for families, for citizens and for all Poles, and fair taxation for multinational corporations. This is what we have done and where we find funds for social policy, for infrastructure policy and for security policy. And precisely for low taxes,” said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
