Fin Min may have to pay compensation to companies employing disabled

The Constitutional Tribunal has ruled that the laws repealing the tax privilege for companies employing handicapped persons are against the Constitution. The motion to the tribunal was made by the Employers of Handicapped Persons Organization. They argued that abolishing their privileges was against social justice and the tribunal upheld their claim. The Finance Ministry was very unhappy with this decision, as it means they now they may be forced to pay those companies up to zl. 1.1 billion in compensation. Hanna Majszczyk from the ministry told Puls Biznesu that repealing the tax breaks was necessary as they could were open to abuse, corruption and lead to scandals involving tax avoidance.
