Tax on Residential Business: The Left Submits a Bill to Parliament

Mateusz Nowak

- Housing is for people. Housing should not be treated as an investment model, because it does not foster the economic development of our country. That is why The Left is proposing a new solution: a tax on residential business - said Anna Maria Żukowska at a press conference.

- Those who own more than three apartments, who profit from them, do not live in three apartments at once. If someone says they bought an apartment for their children, there is no problem. An apartment can be registered to a child, including a minor child - she continued.

- We are proposing a solution that assumes that from the third apartment that a given person owns, a different tax will be levied than before. We are changing the philosophy of property taxation in Poland. We are abolishing the property tax, and introducing a tax on the value of property - she further stated.

- For owners of the first and second apartments, this tax will be neutral. [...] A draft bill has been prepared, which we are submitting today to the Speaker of the Sejm, Włodzimierz Czarzasty - she added.

- Every third and subsequent owned apartment or house will be taxed in such a way that for the first 5 years from the introduction of this tax, the taxation will amount to 0.5% of the property's value. [...] For the next 10 years, the tax will increase its value by another 0.1% annually [...] ultimately, after 10 years, this tax is to reach a value of 1.5% of the property's value - she emphasized.
