Civic Platform asks Constitutional Tribunal to examine amended tax bill

Civic Platform (PO) has filed with the Constitutional Tribunal a motion seeking verification that the amendment to the Personal Income Tax (PIT) bill complies with the Constitution. PO member Zyta Gilowska commented yesterday that during a Sejm debate, her party had tried to convince the ruling coalition that the PIT bill amendment was flawed, but failed. She explained that in view of the great number of doubts about the amendment, they had asked the Constitutional Tribunal to examine it. PO claims the amendment, which it describes as a clinical example of bad legislation, infringes on citizens' legal right to equality. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 22) P.J.
