Poland to alter metal tax as of 2017 - TresMin

Treasury Minister Dawid Jackiewicz would like to see changes to the so called metal tax introduced in 2017, but the final decision is down to the Finance Minister. "No  decision has yet been made. I wholeheartedly opt for changes to be made in 2017... Different variants are being analyzed," Jackiewicz said. The metal tax is mainly paid by state-owned copper giant KGHM. During the electoral campaign, PiS repeatedly assured that it will annul the tax once in power. "The tax should be abolished," said Prime Minister Beata Szydło in December, adding that "KGHM should have money to invest."
