Government likely to abandon proposed changes to next year's income tax

Freedom Union (UW) deputy Stanislaw Kracik believes the current tax brackets will continue unchanged next year and earlier proposed changes will be postponed. The Finance Ministry is believed to be busy reviewing the proposed changes for an 18% and a 28% tax bracket, and how to finance the proposed pro-family tax breaks. Fearing potential complications in implementing next year's budget, Finance Minister Jaroslaw Bauc is rumored to be having talks with the Sejm's Public Finance Commission deputies to try and win their support. It is possible the Ministry could create another budget for the Sejm to consider. (Prawo i Gospodarka, page 1) S.M.
