Gronicki sells the flat VAT

"The potentially higher income from a flat VAT, which would be simpler to administer, could result in the possibility of lowering the tax burden on individual tax payers," Gronicki told a press conference.

Gronicki would like to see a VAT rate as low as 13-14%, versus the current 7-22% range, with a view to attracting business to Poland. He says simplification of Poland's VAT regulations would eliminate one-third of the problems faced by Poles and the Finance Ministry.

The Minister also says five cabinet ministers support such a tax regime simplification, including PM Marek Belka, Economy and Labor Minister Jerzy Hausner, Treasury Minister Jacek Socha, Infrastructure Minister Krzysztof Opawski and Gronicki himself, of course. M.W.
