Sawicki Announces PSL's Legislative Offensive

Michał Olech

A month ago, we signed an agreement with the Federation of Polish Entrepreneurs. In 2023, we ran in the elections as the party of entrepreneurs, and therefore, certain things need to be accelerated now. […] Currently, however, we have two serious projects prepared, which we will present in September. This is a project concerning healthcare reform, but also a very important project related to personal income tax, where we want to regulate issues concerning the tax-free allowance in a single act, specifically Prime Minister Donald Tusk's promise of 60,000, but we want to spread this over a three-year period. Furthermore, in this project, we are also preparing provisions regarding tax-free pensions, as this was our flagship point in the 2023 election campaign – stated Marek Sawicki on PR24's program „24 pytania” (24 Questions), when asked about PSL's 'legislative offensive.'

I also remind you that we will address family income tax. In my opinion, and also in the opinion of experts from the Federation of Polish Entrepreneurs, this tax-free allowance, this family income tax, should be a multiplier of the number of family members times the tax-free allowance. So, if it is 30,000 today, a family with three children should have a tax-free allowance of 150,000. If it becomes 60,000, it will be 300,000, so this should be taken into account. Furthermore, the provision recently mentioned by Chairman Kosiniak-Kamysz, the Deputy Prime Minister, concerning 800+ will also be included in this, so that 800+ covers those families that fall within the family income tax bracket. […] This is related to income tax settlement, and thus linked to professional activity – he continued.

Our current GDP is already nearly a trillion dollars. If we convert that to our zlotys, it's over 4 trillion zlotys. A trillion dollars, over 4 trillion zlotys. And if reports published annually indicate that approximately 18-18.2% of economic turnover in the Polish economy constitutes the grey zone, then sealing just 1/3 of this fully covers the needs for the tax-free allowance. Therefore, it's high time to also address such simplifications and solutions, which entrepreneurs have prepared, so that from next year, by tightening economic turnover, the state budget can have additional revenues to fulfill these commitments, to which, so to speak, all coalition partners have committed, including the Prime Minister and the Polish People's Party – concluded Sawicki, when asked about the funding for the legislative projects proposed by PSL.
