Government accelerates work on cadastre

At the request of the Prime Minister the introduction of the tax would be handled by the Finance Ministry. "Do not imagine that this [introduction of tax] will result in raising the highest tax bracket from 40% to 50%, as one will not collect more taxes in this way. It is rather about making the richest pay taxes if they do not do now for some reasons," said PM Jarosław Kaczyński. In his opinion this would help boost revenues by several billion złoty. Rzeczpospolita points out that the PM did not mention that launching the cadastre would be a lengthy process that will take between two to five years. "Apart from that there is no computer system to run the cadastre," said Mirosław Gronicki, a former finance minister. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, B1) M.M.
