It has been taking several weeks to collect signatures under the petition “Let's protect the liner tax!” – a stop of adverse changes in Polish Deal”, launched by spokesman for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, Adam Abramowicz. 14 September. The petition has already been signed 52355 people.

The rope tax spokesperson considers one with the best solutions in the tax system. By way of amendments made, Polish Deal I'm afraid it's going to disappear.

Changes in the linear tax provided for under Polish Deal, assume an increase in the tax-contributory burden from 19% to 28% for over 700,000 entrepreneurs. At the same time, the deadline for reform is immediately followed by a severe lockdown for many companies, which will make it very difficult for them to recover financial losses.

  • The banks do not want to hear about credit for sectors affected by lockdown," said Adam Abramowicz, spokesperson for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs. – These companies can obtain money to restore assets and needed investments only from their own income, and the proposed changes imply a reduction of this possibility by 9% on a yearly basis.

The SME spokesperson also calls for a one-year delay in the implementation of the reforms currently planned for 1 January 2022, subject to the fact that the government will not block economic activity at the time. Adam Abramowicz justifies his position by the need for the projector to make a fair reference to the numerous comments made during the public consultation and the need to develop a new version of the tax reform, which will take more account of the interests of micro, small and medium-sized entrepreneurs.

  • A linear tax after its introduction into 2004 proved to be an excellent tax instrument. In the next few years, he led to 100% The increase in budget revenue from this tax is summed up by Adam Abramowicz, a spokesman for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs. – Such a significant increase in the burden for linear tax companies will discourage them from keeping this form of accounting with the tax, will result in a drain on other ways of taxation, will encourage tax optimization and cost multiplication. This will lead to a decrease in budgetary revenues, and therefore the balance of expenditure assumed by the Ministry of Finance will not occur.

On the SME Ombudsman website https://rzecznikmsp.gov.pl/petycja/ There is still an action to collect signatures under the petition to preserve the linear tax in its current form.
