Double taxation abolished for Poles working overseas

Those who have paid the tax on legal employment in Great Britain over 2002-2007 will receive a refund of additional tax paid in Poland. "This is virtual money, they would never pay this tax anyway," said Jakub Lutyk, spokesperson of the Finance Ministry. The decision also pleased the economists, as this allowed the actual abolishment of double taxation. "Liberalization of the law will bring about positive effects to the economy in the long-run," said Jacek Męcina, an expert of the Polish Confederation of Private Employers (PKPP).
