Donald Tusk and Andrzej Domanski announced the taxation package on 19 August 2026 from 2027: the PIT threshold is expected to emergence from PLN 120 to PLN 130 thousand, income from PLN 130 to PLN 150 1000 will cover the rate of 24 percent, and the largest companies will pay the higher CIT. For Poles this means relief from 1 pocket and a fresh bill from the other.
Government shows fresh thresholds
Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Minister Andrzej Domanski presented a package of taxation changes planned since 2027. The most crucial announcement concerns the PIT scale: the current threshold of PLN 120 1000 is to be moved to PLN 130 thousand. gross from 130 to 150 1000 PLN per year is to be covered by the fresh rate of 24 percent, and only the surplus of more than 150 1000 PLN at 32 percent.
This is simply a politically comfortable packaging. The government can tell the mediate class he's giving her breath. but the taxation strategy does not consist of communications. If the burden is lowered in 1 place and the state has gigantic spending needs, the money must be taken elsewhere. In this package, the function of the payer is to be given to the largest companies and people with the highest income.
Medium class between relief and hook
According to Salon24, Donald Tusk spoke about about about 3.5 million taxpayers who are to benefit from changes, and the maximum yearly benefit is to scope PLN 3.6 thousand. It's a circumstantial 1 that sounds good at the conference table. The question, however, is whether the government truly organizes the system, or only moves the voltage line by another PLN 10 thousand.
The Polish mediate class has been paying the price for taxation chaos, inflation of regulations and promises made without a unchangeable backing plan. DN has already written that dispute over the PIT threshold and mediate class became 1 of the main fields of conflict for the wallets of working Poles. Now the government is adding a fresh level of 24 percent, which is intended to ease entry into the highest rate, but does not remove the basic problem: the state continues to treat income promotion as an chance for stronger collection.
CIT and solidarity
According to PAP Biznes, the government wants to rise CIT from 19 to 22 percent for companies with yearly revenues above EUR 50 million, or about PLN 200 million. In the plans there is besides an increase in the solidarity taxation from 4 to 5 percent for surplus gross exceeding PLN 1 million per year. To this end, it is expected to return to a lower limit of gross which entitles to a lump sum: EUR 250 000 alternatively of the current EUR 2 million.
Such a set shows the logic of the present power. The relief for any is to be balanced with fresh burdens for others. In government communications, it sounds like justice. This means greater uncertainty in the economy, especially for companies that have exceeded certain thresholds due to growth, investment and expansion. The state should enjoy the improvement of Polish companies. He reacts besides frequently with fresh taxes.
The budget is simply a actual background
It is impossible to talk honestly about this package without the state budget. Ministry of Finance reportedthat after July 2026 the deficit amounted to PLN 141.1 billion, with revenues of PLN 333,9 billion and expenses of PLN 475.0 billion. This is not a peaceful background for costly promises. It's a warning.
That is why any announcement of a taxation relief must be read together with the question of the origin of funding. Previously, the government had put off the promises regarding the free amount, as DN described in the text about how Poles pay more and more with frozen free money. Now there is another mechanism: not full reform, but correction of thresholds and parallel increases for selected groups.
President and Political Responsibility
The taxation package will require laws, and thus besides passing through Parliament and the signature of president Karol Nawrocki or facing a veto. The government may declare confidence, but the work for specified a change does not end at a press conference. A veto in taxation matters is not a whim. This is simply a control tool erstwhile most are trying to push through solutions miscalculated or dangerous to the economy.
The stakes for Poland are simple: either the state builds a strategy that rewards work, saves and develops national capital, or further complicates taxes to cover the deficit and political promises. Raising the PIT threshold can give any families breath. The higher CIT, the fresh rate of 24 percent and the higher solidarity rate, however, show that the government does not quit the doctrine of always deeper reaching into the pockets of those who work, gain and invest.
