Poland plans to raise tax-free bracket: FinMin

Xinhua, November 26, 2016 Adjust font size:

Polish Finance Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said Friday that the government plans to raise the current tax-free part of income to free more of Poland's lowest-income earners from having to pay tax.

Morawiecki, who is also Deputy Prime Minister and Development Minister, said that the amount of tax-free income that earners could declare annually would be raised to 6,600 zloty (1,590 U.S. dollars) from current 3,091 zloty.

"We want the nearly three million of the poorest people in Poland not to pay any taxes at all," said Morawiecki. Endit
