Mine tax may yet be suspended

Henryk Kowalczyk, the cabinet's standing committee head, told TVN 24 broadcaster that Poland may yet suspend a metals tax and will make a decision on the matter at the end of December. "It will be confirmed by the end of December ... if it is possible or not possible," Kowalczyk said. He also said the decision on the tax might be made anytime during the year." A decision on tax suspension might be made at any time during the year, the minister also noted. "A tax reduction is possible at any moment." During the electoral campaign PiS repeatedly assured that it will annul the tax once in power. However, revenues from the tax were included in the draft budget for 2016 adopted by the government.
