Borowski: Retail pass costs on suppliers and customers
The introduction of a bank tax will impede lending in some banks, while others will allow you to increase market share – thinks Jakub Borowski, chief economist at Credit Agricole. On the other hand, a tribute imposed on shops charge partly suppliers and customers. As a result, prices rise and fall, consumption, corporate profits and investment.
The preliminary draft law on the tax showed that
They were to be taxed entities engaged in commercial activities in
stores with a sales area exceeding 250 square meters. During the consultation,
conducted with the industry in early January, the parties agreed on the
abandonment of the criterion of the surface as the tax base,
also they came to an agreement that this was a tax on turnover and had
progressive.
Earlier, a series of consultations with trade representatives
He conducted led by Law and Justice deputy Adam Abramovich team
parliamentary. It was agreed in the course of that tax hypermarkets do not
should be dependent on the surface of the store, and should be
progressive, cascading and include tax-free allowance.
The differences concerned, among others the quantity thresholds – representatives of small and
medium-sized enterprises have to advocate for up to seven thresholds,
while the Polish Organization of Trade and Distribution for three. Also in
the amount of free there was no agreement between the organizations
entrepreneurs, and members of the team suggested that it was a
At least 12 million zł annual turnover.
- No group entities would gain tax on stores
proposed by the Ministry of Finance; at least they will lose an average network size
supermarkets – mainly Polish and network systems, franchise – is considered
General Director of the Polish Organization of Trade and Distribution Andrzej
Faliński.
He estimated that the effect of the implementation of the proposals
Ministry of Finance may withdraw from the Polish part of the largest
hypermarkets. “I do not know if this happens, and if so – then we can
expect to do so within two years. Now you probably owners of large
the network will start well count and calculate profitability. It may be
too low “- said Faliński. Among the entities’ most
lossy “also mentioned wholesalers.
“Proposals ministry – when they come into force in such a shape -
in my opinion, will result in negative consequences for the economy. So maybe
a move justified on grounds of social announcement of the government, but
eventually it will be a big hindrance to economic development. Budget to
food, but the economy as such – not “- pointed Faliński.
According to him proposed by the Ministry of Finance tax is high and “sharply
scoped “.” The thresholds are set so that they pay everyone. A novelty and
surprise is the fee for trading on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
And we must remember that on Saturdays for more than quarter
weekly trade and profit from it. As I understand it, the point is to
We were then Brussels reproached no discrimination against foreign operators
terms of national “- said Faliński.
In his opinion “glimmer of hope” for traders is that since
are set such rates, it probably is not planning ministry
Sunday trading ban.
Faliński also admitted that the current proposals of the Ministry of Finance are “somewhat better
from the previous “. The preliminary draft of the law on this tax
it appeared that were to be taxed entities engaged
sales in stores with a sales area exceeding 250 square meters. During
consultations conducted with the industry in early January, the parties agreed
what to give up this criterion as the tax base.
“Such a criterion would be curious and would pose only different ideas
its handling “- believes Faliński.
“As regards the impact of the current proposals for ordinary consumers, it
I see it like this: first, they will have less choice, because as a result of
taxes some suppliers will be eliminated. As for the price – increase for
goods as good and very good quality; while there will be
larger quantities of products far cheaper, but bad
qualitatively “- he stressed. He noted that in his opinion this phenomenon
especially the garment industry will or label.
