Government backflips on ecological tax

This also means that the government has withdrawn from the ecological tax project, which was to be voted by the Sejm in the middle of last year. Work on this bill has been halted as it has been revealed that it could violate EU regulations. If accepted, the excise tax would be replaced with an ecological tax which would be applied to every car registered for the first time in Poland. The Cabinet is yet to pass the relevant bill to withdraw this idea.(Rzeczpospolita, p. B1) A.K.
