Finance ministry's generosity to companies who owe tax includes Daewoo This year the Finance Ministry has already frozen as much as zl. 130 million in tax arrears. The ministry says only companies whose debt exceeded zl. 20,0000 or individuals whose debt exceeded zl. 10,000 were involved. In eighteen cases the amount was more than zl. 1 million. The largest companies on the ministry's list include spirits producer Lodzkie Zaklady Przemyslu Spirytysuwego Polmos and automobile manufacturer Daewoo Motor Polska. The ministry says revenue lost from the freezing of arrears has been systematically decreasing, but has not elaborated on its decision-making process for freezing debts. A discussion in the Sejm said such practices can cause corruption. (Gazeta Wyborcza, June 17-18, page 32) J.K.
