Government wants unified tax to be budget-neutral: Kowalczyk

The unified tax, which the government plans to introduce, should be budget-neutral, Henry Kowalczyk, head of the Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers, told TVN24Bis. This tax will replace the personal income tax (PIT) along with social insurance (ZUS) and national health (NFZ) contributions.

Regarding the budget hole that will result from the introduction of a unified tax, Kowalczyk said: “It will be around PLN 4-5 billion. We want it to be neutral for the budget, which is why people who earn above a few hundred thousand will gradually contribute more.”
