In Brief 2: ComArch doing well; A crushing tax on NGOs

Kraków-based IT company ComArch is hoping to post a 15-25% increase in sales revenues and net profit this year. Last year, its net profit amounted to zł. 9.7 million on revenues of zł. 156.2 million. ComArch has noted a considerable boost in its consolidated revenues thanks to realizing integration contracts. The company is also expected to clinch several key contracts both in the country and abroad before too long. (Parkiet, p. 4) ... Today the Senate is to discuss the issue of introducing a tax on non-governmental organizations. According to the government project, all of these organizations will be taxed, unless they gain a special status of "a publically useful organization". The effect of this could be that many of these organizations, engaged in cultural, environmental of social help, could go bankrupt. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) A.K./A.Z.
