Schetyna's Tax-Free Allowance Plan Falls Far Short of Inflation Reality

Grzegorz Schetyna has revived the idea of indexing Poland's tax-free income threshold, which has long lagged behind inflation and wage growth. Commentators argue the proposal is too modest to meaningfully ease household budgets and is disconnected from economic reality. Poland's current tax-free allowance stands at 30,000 PLN, well below comparable thresholds in other EU countries.
