Petition Calls for Radical โTaxโฃ Overhaul: Abolish PIT,โค Eliminate 800+โข and Pensions
Warsaw, Poland – A new petition submitted to the Sejm (Polish Parliament) proposes a sweeping overhaul of Poland’s tax and โsocial welfare system, โadvocating for the โcomplete โabolition of the personal income tax โ(PIT) in exchange forโ eliminating โthe 800+ โchild benefit program, โas โwell as โtheโข 13th and 14th retirement โpensions. The โคproposal, identified as BKSP-155-X-690/25, is presented as a budget-neutral solution intendedโข to simplify taxation and address concerns aboutโ hidden tax increases.
the petition’s author โฃargues the proposed changes would create a fairer system โfor all citizens, together removing numerous complex โtax deductions and reliefs. A key benefitโข highlighted is โaddressing the lack โof indexation of PIT thresholds, which effectively functions as a recurring, unacknowledgedโฃ tax hike. The proposal also aims to satisfy demands forโข increasing the tax-free allowanceโ toโ PLN 60,000, even amidst current budgetary constraints and significant military spending. The petition further stresses the need forโฃ compensation to local โคgovernmentโ unitsโข to ensure their financial stability under the new system.
