As announced in the near future awaits us “above all, the institutional reform in the form of the establishment of the National Fiscal Administration.” “The current operation distributed between the three services are ineffective. This situation can be compared to a hypothetical situation in which the country there would be three institutions about the status of the fire brigade. The first entitled to extinguish the buildings with even numbered, the other with odd, and the third would deal with complex installations technical or industrial buildings. that needs to change. KAS equipped with modern tools will cut in 2-3 years the so-called. VAT gap in our country, so that it is about 18-20 billion dollars per year less. It will be an attractive place to work, and employment in the object of aspiration and pride “- pointed Szałamacha.

I continued:” the government has adopted an amendment gambling law, that is, an act that has always aroused excitement deserved. ” “My intention is to make the so-called. Technical notification to the European Commission and adoption by the Parliament came into force on 1 January 2017. August 1, 2016 will come into force called. Package of fuel, which is a set of solutions that curb pathology in the market for liquid fuels. In the autumn will be adopted deep + sealing + novella of the VAT Act “- he declared.

the Minister recalled that the Ministry of Finance a few days ago published the results of implementation of the budget for the first half of the year. “With our joint efforts, there was an increase in tax revenues, particularly from VAT and excise duty. Tax revenues overall rose by more than 7 per cent. Year-on-year. This allows us to finance budget expenditures, including a new general program of family support 500+. This means that in recent months stopped long-term trend of declining budget revenues as a share of national product “- he stressed.

in his opinion, this is due to changes in organizational, legal and human resources that have already been carried out, as well as the basic strategy of treatment of taxpayers. “We understand the needs of companies making up the strength of the Polish economy, and thus the tax base, which is exemplified by one of my first decisions on the treatment of expenditure on the purchase of foreign currency options hedging profitability of exports as an expense deductible; we are consistent and steadfast against those entities that focus cheating all of us participating in VAT carousels, the gray zone of fuel and cigarettes “- pointed Szałamacha.

“We broke through the barrier of lack of will at the very tops of decision-making. Parliament adopted and the President of the Republic signed an amendment to the tax Code introduces a clause to circumvent tax law. This solution, which in many countries, tried to introduce many years. For years, the press wrote about the excess liquidity of the banking sector, ie, maintaining the state of cash by banks over the required level of reserves. Introduced a bank tax, which reduces the excess liquidity and the revenue of the budget “- he listed.

” Why do I write about today these achievements? Not because to knock someone pride. I allow myself to pay attention to these encouraging phenomenon, because our achievements testify to the fact that we are on the right track. A lot of good is already behind us, but the best – I believe – is yet to come “- he stressed.

” Joy the previous achievements can share with you just because it is the fruit of our joint effort. I am immensely grateful to you. I will strive to the Minister of Finance employees of the Tax Administration, Customs Service and UKS seen its most reliable ally. A tangible expression of this attitude are the first years salary increases. I think that as far as freezing salaries in skarbówce could be justified during the 2009-10 financial crisis is a continuation of this policy for the next five years was a serious error of my predecessors. Tax collection is in fact one of the basic functions of the state. Long-term freezing resulted in a loss of competitiveness of remuneration to the private sector, the decline in motivation and discouragement “- wrote the minister.

” much has been made, we can afford more. Again, thank you to my team deputies, employees of the Ministry of Finance in Warsaw, thousands of officials and officers employed in offices and tax offices, Offices of Fiscal Control and the Customs Service “- ended Szałamacha.
