20:19
In Friday's vote, the upper chamber of the Polish parliament, Sejm, voted in favor of introducing the tax part of the Polish Deal from January 1, 2022. Thus, it rejected the Senate's amendment, which assumed that the new tax solutions would enter into force on January 1, 2023.
"Judgment to the middle class," Jarosław Gowin, former deputy prime minister in the PiS government, commented after the vote.
The deputies were also against the adoption of, inter alia, an amendment aimed at establishing a legal basis for covering the financial loss of local government units in connection with the entry into force of new regulations and against increasing the tax for public benefit organizations from 1 to 1.2 percent.
The amendment extending the so-called relief for the middle class for pensioners and persons employed based on a mandate contract and an amendment extending tax preferences to persons with at least three children also obtained a negative opinion.
