Kopacz: Mineral tax subject to scrutiny
11:33
The government will launch a "detailed analysis" of the structure of a mineral tax paid by copper miner KGHM, Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz said on Tuesday.
"Tax exemptions should be targeted at anyone who wants to invest and create new jobs. The aim is that until profits from the extraction of new deposits do not match the investments, KGHM would not pay tax on mined minerals."
This declaration may be seen as a reaction to yesterday's proposal by Law and Justice (PiS), the opposition party, to abolish taxes on copper and silver in order to the increase profitability of KGHM.
