Economy Minister promises to curb excesses by tax offices

Amendments would protect taxpayers from officials changing their interpretation of fiscal regulations. "This would be good news for all taxpayers," said Henryka Bochniarz, the president of PKPP employers association. Hausner went on to say that his budget cuts program would be analyzed by the government during a session scheduled for January 20. "I would like all bills related to the plan to be sent to Parliament at latest by the end of April and accepted before the summer recess. However, I am fearful whether the Sejm will try to "improve" what is already there and whether the pace of work will be fast enough," explained Hausner. He added that he was sure that political and economic circles would accept his proposals. "Entrepreneurs realize that if action is not taken, the situation of public finances will get worse".
