Finance Ministry to crack down on employee renumeration tax loopholes

The Sejm is to consider a Finance Ministry proposal to scrap the variety of bonuses that employers pay their employees to complement their taxable salaries. The draft also calls for abolishing non-taxable coupons offered to workers to exchange in shops for goods. The Ministry asserts that most employers were deceiving the tax office by incurring bizarre expenses such as fuel, training costs and expensive holiday tickets for workers. The new bill would ensure taxes are levied on all such expenses. (Puls Biznesu, page 7) S.M.
