In the first part of the article, we mentioned some crucial changes related to the introduction of the Polish Deal. Tax relief for the middle class or PIT 0 for 4+ families are only a fraction of what the government has prepared. Today we will take look at the subsequent changes – especially since some of them have already stirred up some controversy.
The Polish Deal: changes as of 2022
The implementation of changes in taxes has raised many questions and doubts. The Polish Deal includes inaccuracies that have led, among other things, to a reduction in salaries. Currently, the government is trying to cut losses and bring the proposed laws to order. What amenities are most talked about?
Universal tax relief
The tax modifications enacted on January 1 have created confusion in the payroll area. Efforts are underway to compensate for the loss in income. The government is planning to expand the group of beneficiaries who will be able to profit from an additional tax preference – the so-called compensatory relief adequate to annual settlements in 2022. It will be available to employees earning up to 12,800 PLN gross per month.
Advance payments for income tax
Due to the above, with the beginning of 2022 the method of settlement of advance payments charged under income tax has changed. The amount of the advance payment cannot exceed the amount charged adequately until the end of December 2021. As a result, employees with a lower paycheck will receive an offset.
Relief for single parents
The new relief for single parents is a significant change. It is a fixed amount of 1500 PLN for every parent – no matter how high their income is. They will be able to benefit from it when completing the PIT form. Thus, joint settlement (with a child) will not be possible.
Joint settlement with a spouse
Married couples who are thinking about joint settlement are also expected to benefit from the Polish Deal. The wife will be able to file PIT together with her husband for the year in which they entered into a marriage. Thus, it will not be necessary to wait until the end of the tax year. Another condition is also the marital property occurring in a given tax year. Due to the necessity of amendment to the Polish Deal, it is worthwhile to keep up-to-date with all the information on this subject. You can find more details on the Polish government website.
