Poland won’t retain young graduates in the country but Brexit may do

According to the American network, CNN "[…]being young and Polish has never been this lucrative." Journalists have recently recalled the proposal of the Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki for young people: anyone who is under the age of 26 and earns less than PLN 85,528 annually will be exempt from income tax in the amount of 18 percent. CNN points out that the tax relief is generous if you take into account the average annual salary in Poland, which is slightly below PLN 60,000.
After entering the EU, Poles with higher education began to emigrate to wealthier countries of the Union. As of today, 724,000 Polish university graduates live abroad which is the highest number of all EU states. According to CNN, the new tax break – although generous – will not change that. This being said, the law could help convince those who are considering leaving to stay. And even if it won’t be the case, the UK government's Brexit policies and the perceived British hostility towards migrants might prove more efficient in making Polish immigrants return back home than any tax breaks.
