Polish Flat Tax Abolition Would Yield Only 6.3B Zł, Economists Warn

Polish economists estimate that abolishing the flat tax would generate only 6.3 billion zł annually, far less than the 19 billion zł it currently costs the state, as entrepreneurs would shift to alternative tax forms like ryczałt, employment contracts, or corporate structures. The analysis suggests the fiscal benefit is limited and could be offset by behavioral responses. This informs the ongoing Polish tax policy debate, though no legislative action is confirmed.
