Major reform to KRUS on the way?

The main aim of the plan is to liquidate the current situation where a farmer pays a contribution of zł.258 per quarter for insurance and benefits regardless of the amount of possessed assets and generated revenues. This regulation costs the budget as much as zł.15.5 billion annually for financing insurance for farmers. KRUS insures 1.6 million farmers, while the Social Insurance Office (ZUS), which insures 13 million people, receives around zł.24 billion from the state. The first changes in the regulations are to enter force next year. (Dziennik, p. 1) A.K.
