The festival kicks off campaign promises for good. PiS has already promised lowering of the retirement age, a great increase in tax-free allowance and child benefits. Cost, slightly counting, is tens of billions of dollars per year. There is no money in the budget. A new taxes on banks and retail chains, and improving tax collection, which promises to Law and Justice, by no means senile to cover these expenses. On proposals for the voters also works PO. We were able to determine how he wants to change taxes.
– We will not bid for Law and Justice on the amount of increase in the amount tax-free. It does not make sense. They can always raise, because I do not look at the consequences. We must act responsibly – says our source from the government.
It promises to increase the amount of free, but on a smaller scale. For several years, it is frozen; if it thawed, would increase from today’s 3091 to 3575 zł. For the state budget would mean lower revenues approx. 2 billion zł per year. So many have been in our wallets.
higher amount of tax-free
The Ministry of Finance does not burn to bolder increases the amount of free, because this would benefit all taxpayers, even those with high incomes, where so much is not necessary. PiS bid up here, it promises to 8 thousand. zł tax-free. For the budget would mean lower revenues zł 17.6 billion, including a loss in hand by local authorities – 8.7 billion zł. It’s a lot. Last year’s budget deficit reached 29 billion zł.
The government has another idea – zero PIT for young people. – People under 30 years of age would be exempted from income tax. This will help them to enter the labor market and the start of adulthood – says our informant. In his view, this should also encourage employers to hire young people.
We were unable to find out how the government estimated the cost of such exemption. The CSO data shows that in Poland we have almost 5.4 million people aged from 20 to 29 years. But only some of them work. As a rule they earn enough, so they pay little taxes. Anyway, the budget must probably reckon with the loss of several billion dollars. We tried this estimate. We assumed that the exemption would cover 2 million people. If you still earn an average of 2000 zł, their annual tax amounts to a little over 1300 zł per person. Renunciation of the budget would mean loss of less than 3 billion zł.
VAT down
next year they also fall in the VAT rate. Basic from 23 to 22 percent. VAT increased, because during the economic crisis, unemployment grew, skimp on purchases and on budget was a shortage of money from taxes. The government first promised that the rates will drop from 2014., But because the crisis has not forgiven, has extended the increases in 2017. Now – as claimed by representatives of the government – the economic situation has improved, further removed from the European Commission before the deadline Polish excessive deficit procedure, so VAT cut could be a year before. Deplete the income budget by 5-6 billion zł per year. In the government there are also supporters of unification of VAT rates. – One rate, amounting to 17 per cent., Would be neutral in its consequences for the budget. However struck in the least paid, because the tax rate would increase for food. You would have to somehow compensate people – says our interlocutor.
The government is also considering a tax reduction for companies. – In return for hiring workers on full-time jobs. Would pay for example, 15 instead of 19 percent. tax. This is to promote this form of employment – says our informant.
There are also fitting to increase deductible. The quota which the employer deducts people employed full-time jobs. Roughly they cover the costs of their travel to work. So as not grow tax-free for several years. Their increase will allow employed on contracts of employment to pay slightly less in taxes. The increase may be by the stronger than in the case of tax-free.
– We have all numbered. Several variants. See later on what we decide – says our informant. Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz announced the presentation of program AFTER the beginning of September. Tax proposals will probably show before. The platform is afraid that some of the ideas podbierze the PiS.
