Income tax bill dilly-dallying may get it kicked around some more

If accepted, the budget would stand to lose billions of zloty. The Polish Peasants Party (PSL) has tried to force through amendments giving financial aid to parents by increasing their tax deductions. The party also wants to increase the tax-free income level to zł.570 per month and to re-introduce the deduction connected with house renovation. The Polish Family League (LPR), meanwhile, wants changes in tax rates and is also in favor of bringing back the renovation deduction. "We think that the deduction law should have the same content as the one which [was in effect] in 2003," said Gabriela Masłowska from the LPR. It is very probable that the bill will get kicked back to the Public Finance Commission. (Parkiet, p. 1) A.F.
