Ministry of Finance admits that he does not know when he will come into force tax from the shops. Deputy Minister Leszek Skiba admitted to the Parliamentary Commission of Economy and Development, that can also lower revenues than originally expected.
– We take very much into account that tax can not be 2 billion zł as previously assumed. This problem noted earlier. The project published February 2 assumed 1.5 billion in revenues this year. Much depends on when the tax comes into force. 2 billion zł is not the purpose of the implementation of the force – said the deputy head of the finance ministry.
He did not answer, but the question of whether this will involve the amendment of the budget, which stipulates that the tax will bring 2 billion zł. Recall that in January the tax would bring even 2.5-3 billion zł per year. The bill in the Regulatory Impact Assessment, published in February, stated that the law aims to: “Increasing the income of the state budget in order to finance budgetary expenditure arising from the implementation of the program of support 500+ families.” Recorded a revenue of 1.5 billion zł in this year and 2 billion next year.
The Deputy Minister noted that the most likely new version of the bill will be ready by the end of this week, and even consulted internally. It is likely to be made public next week. Leszek Skiba also admitted that there is no longer talk about what the old version.
– A new draft law on tax on trade will be ready in 7-10 days – promised in turn, Finance Minister Paul Szałamacha the meeting of the Social Dialogue Feb. 18.
During Tuesday’s committee deputy minister Skiba, he did not want to reveal where he’s going to change in the trade tax Act. He admitted, however, that the Ministry of Finance is considering all comments submitted yet.
– The first is a matter of the franchise. They are big doubts about the current state. You have to build it so that the relationship between equity shops were underlined. There are several possibilities. For now, I can not tell you. Please be patient – he said Skiba.
In a similar vein spoke on how the situation will be addressed payer and solidarity in the payment of tax. We still do not know it, what will be the tax rates. He noted, however, that the government is inclined toward the flat tax.
– The predominant voices in the discussion drew attention that the European Commission may negatively treat the idea of progression. For now, it is so linear rate. Is 100 percent.? That still will not say – he said Skiba. He did not want to reveal how much would be tax free. He admitted only that it depends on the final version of the bill.
– Will there be a different rate on Saturdays and Sundays? There was a lot of negative votes on the matter. We are considering them. I can not declare how it will be solved – he added.
He said, however, that there are doubts as to the taxation of excise goods. He said that the Ministry of Finance has a lot of problems here and analyze the situation. If it turns out that you can not have a tax obkladač of excise goods, a new tribute not you would need to pay for fuel, cigarettes and alcohol.
– The project is being prepared in the Ministry of Finance and there is analyzed from the legal point of view . Of course, here, whether it is compatible with EU law, we will ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We look forward to completion of the work, and then we turn for an opinion – declared Skiba.

Part traders nervous about it for the length of the work on the new tax laws and high volatility.

On the other hand, Wojciech Kruszewski network Leviathan called for the progression of the tax, because only she will compete for a medium-sized Polish companies with foreign networks.
About the tax on commercial networks Law and Justice said for several years. Originally they were to be covered by it only stores with an area of over 250 square meters. They had to pay 2 percent. of their turnover. In December, the idea is withdrawn, and in January, the Ministry of Finance partly publicly displayed the first project of the Act.
It infuriated petty shopkeepers, he imposed on them the obligation to pay tax if they are associated with franchising. In February, the Ministry of Finance showed the second draft, but only changed the tax rate. In the middle of the month took place before the Parliament the first ever protest merchants.
