Minister Kowalczyk asked whether it can maintain announced on August 1, the date of entry into force of the tax from the shops, said: “Now the host of this project is the Parliament. I hope that at the next session of Parliament this bill adopts, it will look to the Senate, and at the end of July – with any amendments the Senate – will return to the Parliament, then the President’s signature. Do you come from 1 August? it may be embarrassing, but at least will take effect from September 1. “
” it’s a difficult thing of course I regret that this tax was not introduced quickly and vigorously, but we tried to consult this proposal primarily from the merchants. the original assumption that we had – taxation, depending on the surface – has been in consultation criticized by the majority of stakeholders. this resulted in a change concept. the criterion surface replaced the criterion of turnover, “- explained inquired about further delays the entrance of these provisions into force.
I continued,” the situation is complicated also that the first project by the Ministry of Finance for sharply walked in the direction of the seal – the the rigors of the law was pulled up a lot of companies that combines just a sign, for example. Spolem. This has led to violent protests. “
Asked if it caused additional delay in the preparation of these rules, commented:” MF was very zealous when it comes to sealing system, this resulted in a misunderstanding and had to be out of this retreat. However, that we changed the concept, does not see as a proof of our weakness – the right is for those who are covered by it, so we wanted to take account of their arguments. It lasted admittedly long, but the vast majority of traders is the current form of this tax happy. “
The question of whether we can expect the amendment to another, beside tax stores, flagship PiS from the last election campaign, that is, bank tax, Kowalczyk said: “it is too early to evaluate, I know that the proceeds are not like expected, but that does not mean that you need to immediately update the law. You have to wait until it will be two to three quarters – at the end of the year will be able to decide whether amends or not. “Bank tax came into force on 1 February. Its rate is 0.44 per cent. Of the value of assets. MF in June estimated that in 2016. proceeds from a bank tax will amount to 4 billion zł. the budget Act provides that the end of the year, these revenues should amount to 5.5 billion zł.
Over the draft law on tax on retail sales is currently working parliament. the proposal envisages the introduction of two tax rates – 0.8 per cent. of revenue between 17 million and 170 million zł zł per month and 1.4 per cent. of revenue above 170 million zł per month.
the object of taxation is the income from the sale of retail or sales made to consumers (individuals not engaged in economic activity and the rate farmers). Revenue from retail sales will not include the VAT due. The tax base will not be included sales to traders. The project does not provide for the taxation of sales made on the Internet.
Tribute from hypermarkets PiS heralded in the election campaign. She was concerned primarily foreign retail chains.
The first version of the Tax Ministry of Finance presented on 2 February. It assumed that the tax had to have two basic rates. The rate of 0.7 percent. was charged to income not exceeding a given month, the amount of 300 million zł. The rate of 1.3 percent. He was to be paid from the surplus of income over 300 million zł per month. Other sales tax rate were to apply on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays – 1.3 per cent. (For receiving income less than 300 million zł per month) and 1.9 percent. (Above the threshold). The amount of tax-free would be 1.5 million zł per month (18 million zł per year).
These proposals have given rise to protests from a number of interested circles, especially traders. During the meeting of the Social Dialogue 18 February Finance Minister Paul Szałamacha admitted that the version of the project February 2, is in the process of working through, is in fact a number of issues which the Ministry of Finance must take into account, for example. That the European Commission strongly negatively speaks about the rate of progressive . He also said that there were many votes in favor of increasing the tax-free amount exceeding 18 million zł per year, which found it understandable. He added that one should weigh the arguments for the abolition of separate weekend rates.
April 13, during a meeting headed by Adam Abramovich’s parliamentary group, the head of the Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers and Minister Henryk Kowalczyk Wiesław Janczyk presented the new guidelines of the project. They contained three progressive tax rate: 0.4 percent. of monthly income between 1.5 million and 17 million zł, 0.8 percent. of revenue between 17 million and 170 million zł, 1.4 percent. of the monthly income of over 170 million zł. Free amount would be 1.5 million zł per month (18 million zł per year). There was no – oprotestowanej by traders – a separate bid for the weekend and the tax franchise network.
In the final draft of the government withdrew from the lowest rate.
