Poles owe a huge amount to the treasury

At the end of the first half of this year, the arrears of taxpayers who had the PKD classification code indicated in their registration data exceeded PLN 78.9 billion. This is only 2.4 percent less than a year earlier when the amount was over PLN 80.8 billion. By far the largest arrears concern the Mazowieckie voivodeship – as much as PLN 39.170 billion. In turn, the lowest result in the country was achieved by the Warmian-Masurian province –   PLN 608 million. Meanwhile, taking into account the backlog by individual taxes, it can be seen that VAT is in the lead –  PLN70.924 billion, PIT –  PLN 4.468 billion, and CIT –  PLN 3.465 billion.

"The decline in tax arrears is a very positive development for the fiscal and the budget as a whole. Its value should not seem surprising, given the release of the economy after the so-called pandemic years. Due to the lifting of anti-covid restrictions, the liquidity of many entrepreneurs who were able to settle tax arrears improved. Rather, they were not forgiven. Tax offices are quicker to agree to the relief of such obligations, deferral of payment deadlines or payment in installments so as not to deplete their tax collection results," assessed tax consultant Ewa Flor.
