Finance and Economy ministries' joint tax reform proposal unveiled

Economy Minister Janusz Steinhoff unveiled the Finance and Economy ministries' plan to change Poland's tax system yesterday at a conference attended by many private employers and distinguished politicians. Their plan calls for scrapping the middle-income tax bracket, while the other two rates of 17% and 34% would remain unchanged. According to Steinhoff, the proposal has received approval from the Cabinet Economic Committee (KERM). (Gazeta Wyborcza, p.20) M.T.
