Experts looked at PIT 0 for families with 2 children. They only get rich? There are calculations

The bill introducing PIT 0 for families with at least 2 children was already sent to the Sejm with the signature of president Karol Nawrocki. However, the assumptions set out therein rise many doubts about the benefits of specified a solution. Experts assessed who and how much they could truly gain from it.
President Nawrocki signed the bill introducing PIT 0 for families with at least 2 children on August 8, 2025, as we wrote in item in the erstwhile article. The President's office then stated that the average Polish household could gain thanks to the fresh solution "average PLN 1000 per month". However, it turns out that this average covers very utmost values, and many families will not even announcement the difference.

PIT 0 for families with 2 children and benefits for parents. Experts have calculated what they can truly gain
Let us remind that the PIT 0 proposed by Karol Nawrocki for families 2+2 assumes a full exemption for families with at least 2 children under the age of 18 (or 25 if they proceed to survey and do not accomplish independent incomes), and furthermore the yearly income does not exceed PLN 280 thousand, or PLN 140 1000 per spouse. At the same time, this proposal increases the maximum amount of the first taxation threshold to PLN 140 thousand. Given these guidelines, experts from Grant Thornton have undertaken more detailed calculations. As we learn from the company's authoritative communication, the calculation includes the minimum remuneration forecasted for 2026 in the amount of PLN 4806 and the average remuneration forecasted for calculating the limit of ZUS contributions in the amount of PLN 9420. The calculations apply to the parents of 2 children entitled to a household allowance (also known as a kid relief).
It turned out that a parent earning a minimum wage would save only PLN 75 per period thanks to the zero PIT, which gives 150 PLN savings per family. For families receiving an average salary, this amount increases to about PLN 500 per person, i.e. promised by the president 1000 PLN. Benefits increase with pay. Grant Thornton states that income taxation would only be paid to families in which both parents gain about PLN 14,000 gross per month. This involves Nawrocki's declarations that PIT 0 for families with 2 children is primarily to support middle-class people. However, it is worth looking at the cost of specified benefits.


What does zero PIT mean for families with 2 children? specified could be the consequences of a fresh solution
Grant Thornton stresses that the taxation proposal under discussion will not benefit at all:

parents with the lowest income which do not exceed the free amount anyway;
families with 1 child;
parents of adult children;
No children.

The company cites the structure of the PIT taxation gross presented by the Ministry of Finance in May this year depending on the number of children raised by taxpayers. It shows that children without children and parents of adult children already pay almost 60% of the PIT to the state budget. Experts so point out that a fresh relief can aid to deepen the polarisation of society, especially since the government already offers various forms of support to families (including 800 plus, kid relief and alleged "4 plus" relief for families with at least 4 children). Moreover, the cost of the presidential bill is expected to be PLN 14 billion per year (according to the Chancellery of the President) or even PLN 30 billion per year (according to the Ministry of Finance).
