Morawiecki: talk about assignment of the participation of the CIT – Onet.pl

The current process of mapping participate in the CIT called “nieekwiwalentnością.”

Deputy development Minister met on Friday, among others, Opolskie with local governments and entrepreneurs. He presented the assumptions Strategy for Responsible Development. Referring to the demands contained therein decentralization, president of Opole Arkadiusz Wisniewski said during the meeting that it is needed also in the field of taxation.

“Strengthening tax local governments is important. Last year we discussed in the region of the statistics, which says that one billion zlotys in the CIT work out companies that have branches or offices in the province. Opole, but the budget is the province of the 60 million zł “- pointed president of Opole.

” This drastic disproportion and you have to find a good, sensible government policy, which will, however, could dedicate, or leave taxes at the place where they actually are created through labor “- rated Wisniewski.

Responding to him, Morawiecki reminded that participation in the corporate income tax goes to local governments according to the place of registration of the headquarters of the company. “The development model polarization and diffusion of these companies were recording in Wroclaw, Katowice, most in Warsaw. So worth it to give it the consultations in the framework of this strategy, because I’ll have a bigger political mandate to discuss it as much as possible forum, “- said the deputy.

“it’s kind of their equivalence. Firms raise the income of the residents of this province, but the province is not the beneficiary of these revenues through participation in CIT in a proportionate manner, “- he added the minister of development.

Later inquired during a briefing in Opole about the possibility of increasing the share of local governments in taxes, Morawiecki stressed that “we must solve this squaring of the circle carefully.” “The transfer more funds to local governments means less funds in the central budget. So today there is no simple answer to this question, “- said Deputy Prime Minister. “Only better and healthier economic growth – healthier is one that generates more taxes – will translate into higher revenues for local governments,” – he stressed.

At a later briefing, when asked about the issue of sealing of the tax system, Morawiecki cited data according to which, inter alia, that eight years ago to the state budget affect 33 billion zł in respect of taxes on businesses. Today, it is 26 billion zł, although the firms’ revenues increased by 100 per cent., And profits of companies – about 70 percent.

“It is a big, giant avoidance of taxes, are optimizations tax, using Cyprus as a place of settlement, other tax havens or diagrams law, which really do not approve, but unfortunately they are on the edge of the law” – said Deputy Prime Minister.

“In this context, I want to say that I respect entrepreneurs who honestly work, pay taxes, and sometimes the will of a foreign entrepreneur who pays taxes here, it has its own research, development and fair pay to workers than the so-called entrepreneur. Polish, who escapes taxes abroad, and employees pay for junk contracts “- he declared.

stressed also, it is very important in this context is the issue of VAT, which the European Commission estimates a loss in the amount of 40-60 billion zł. “So the task entitled better job of tax offices is one of the main tasks of economic and political relations of our government”, – stressed Morawiecki.
