Szymon Janus criticized the proposal to raise the CIT from 19% to 22%. He claimed that instead of effectively enforcing taxes on foreign corporations, the government would burden a few large Polish companies that pay high taxes, limiting their ability to compete with Western enterprises. He pointed out that the official justification for the proposal mentioned aligning international corporations with the European level and protecting small and medium-sized Polish companies. Janus found these objectives paradoxical because, as he assessed, the effects of the changes would be primarily felt by Polish enterprises. He reminded that he had repeatedly pointed out the lack of capital in Polish companies and the benefits foreign corporations derived, in his opinion, from years of exploiting Poles and poorly conducted privatization. Janus suggested that the proposal could be used to attack President Nawrocki with the accusation of neglecting the budget and protecting big business. Among the Polish companies he categorized this way, he mentioned InPost, LPP, Adamed, Oshee, and Maspex, contrasting them with DPD, DHL, Aldi, and Orange. He added that Orlen and PKOBP/Pekao officially announced the end of investments and foreign expansion. Although he supported a uniform levy and fair taxation, Janus advocated for increasing tax pressure on foreign companies first. He claimed that the increase would bring billions of zlotys from Polish enterprises, and almost nothing from foreign ones, which — as he wrote — did not pay taxes. #CIT #podatki #polskiefirmy (translated)
