Tusk: No room for lowering taxes
Poland can’t lower taxes radically as it needs to improve the quality of state services. “[Poland] cannot radically lower taxes, because then it would have to reduce even further state services or social benefits, which are low anyway in Poland,” Polish PM Donald Tusk said in an interview with TV station Polsat News. “Today Poland has no room for a tax revolution,” he said.
PM admitted that the country spends relatively little on its citizens compared to other EU countries. “In this sense, we are maybe still too liberal today, because most people, especially those in a more difficult situation, expect not lower taxes, but more state services and of better quality.” Tusk stressed that his economic views are liberal, but the country’s “public services are still sub-par.”
