Confederate press conference. Sejm, 8 November 2023.
Bartholomew Pejo:
– We want to emphasize the current taxation situation in Poland. It's not anyone else like Benjamin Franklin who said that death and taxes are certain in life. And of course, taxes are certain, but they don't should be as advanced as they are in Poland today. Unfortunately, everything indicates that The fresh government, which is planned, the civilian Coalition together with another coalitions, will not contribute to lower taxes in Poland.
Why are we talking about this? due to the fact that present we want to item the Warsaw Enterprise Institute report, which clearly states that tax charges in Poland already exceed 60% of our wages. Which means that we have been working for more than 7 months to pass on our hard-earned country, which we believe is not in the right direction. ...
“The Confederate from the very beginning, as a conservative-liberal environment, says that in Poland taxes should be simple and low. Here we are. specified draft laws will be submitted in the next parliamentary term. We besides informed about this in the election run in Constitution of Freedom, our election program.
Vladimir Skalik:
– erstwhile presenting the Confederacy programme, we met with allegations that the Confederacy wanted to deprive the Polish State of financing its basic functions. We're absolutely not proposing anything like that. We realize that you are our collective responsibility. its functions must be financed through participation, participation of each of us, through the taxation system.
But there is simply a fundamental difference between a reasonable, fair participation in state financing and what we have in Poland. This degree of taxation burden that this study speaks of, or more than 60%, resembles alternatively a brazen plunder of the state on their own citizens.
The question is how it is that Poles who work so hard accept this impudence plunder. This seems to be due to the fact that they are unaware of the degree of the plunder. In public space there is very small talk about this very bad phenomenon. The media in Poland does not address this issue. It seems that only entrepreneurs are aware of this fact. Why? due to the fact that they pay any taxation burden, they regulate from their own account. And erstwhile this transfer starts, they see how much money goes to the state's treasury.
In the case of workers, any taxation burden shall be transferred to the employer. The worker is completely unaware of how much money the state takes from what the worker has worked out. From what should be more in his pocket.
– If we took the average gross contract remuneration of about 7 000 PLN is the worker from this amount receives “on hand” only 5 101 PLN. But that's not all! The reality is that for this amountThe real gross remuneration of the worker is PLN 8433.Of this, 3,331 PLN goes to the state budget.
The worker receiving a wage of PLN 5101 is not completely aware that the state takes more than PLN 3 1000 from his earned money.
– Ifemployees were to pay this PLN 3 300 from their own account, I am convinced that after a period we would have a revolt in Poland. due to the fact that who would agree to specified plunder? We are not calling for rebellion. We rise awareness of our fellow countrymen and urge them to change this situation by changing power in Poland to a formation that sees this problem and has ready solutions.
– But it's not over. A individual receiving these PLN 5100 is exposed to the fact that with all acquisition he makes, the state reaches into his pocket. We pay VAT on each purchase. For example, the share of taxes on charges, e.g. in energy, in fuel, gas reaches 50% today. ...
