Towards a 19% flat rate VAT?

Marek Goliszewski, the head of BCC, said that Belka was inspired by the very good results of the budget in Slovakia, which, according to him is a result of introducing such a tax rate. Currently, there are four VAT brackets in force in Poland: 22, 7, 3 and 0%. "Unifying the tax would be a good solution. For some goods however, this would mean they would be subject to a higher tax. It is important to examine what would be more profitable in the long run," adds Goliszewski. Many market analysts believe that if a unified tax rate would be introduced, it would have to be at 15%. The Civic Platform (PO) also supports such an option. This year's budget expects VAT revenues to amount to zł.68 billion, which is zł.7 billion more than last year. (Parkiet, p. 1) A.K.
