The budget won’t get rich from the vaccine lottery

Vaccinated lucky winners who are drawn for more valuable in-kind and cash prizes will not have to pay 10% tax.

The so-called vaccine raffle, which was launched less than two weeks ago, is meant to be one of the incentives to get vaccinated against Covid-19. A fully vaccinated participant has as many as four chances to win. The finale includes two prizes of 1 million each and two hybrid Toyotas.

The vast majority of prizes in the lottery are low-value cash prizes ranging from PLN 300 to PLN 500 and scooters worth PLN 1699 gross. The organizer provided for as many as 52.7 thousand of them. Winning such a prize will not be subject to taxation because the value of the prize does not exceed the exemption limit, i.e. PLN 2280,” explains Michał Dec, legal adviser, tax adviser, a partner in KNDP Kolibski, Nikończyk, Dec & Partners. However, the organizer of the lottery also provided for several dozen in-kind and cash prizes worth between PLN 50,000 and PLN 1 million.
