Double taxation

Poles working in the UK decided to protest against the outdated rules in front of the Polish embassy in London last weekend. "Most of us left the country to earn a living. We are thus surprised that we have to pay for the second time on what we made abroad," said Artur Misztal, a student working in England. A monthly salary of L1,000 in the UK means zł.6,000 for the fiscal office, and is taxed at 40%. (Poland A.M.)
