At the beginning of the year, the government introduced the widely advertised “Polish Deal,” a program of tax reforms aimed at significantly increasing the progressiveness of taxation. Individuals with lower incomes are supposed to pay less than before, while those with higher incomes are to pay more. For those in the middle, the effect of the changes is intended to be neutral, thanks to the introduced reliefs – writes Prof. Witold M. Orłowski, an economist and lecturer at the Warsaw University of Technology Business School.
