The government is preparing a response to rising gas prices

Polish Finance Minister Domański announced plans to address rising gas prices due to international tensions, aiming to mitigate household impacts. He reported a projected public finance deficit of 6.7%, slightly lower than expected, attributed to strong VAT and CIT revenues. Domański discussed recent PIT tax reforms, raising the first tax threshold and introducing new rates, benefiting 3.5 million people. Funding for these reforms will come from increased CIT rates for larger companies and changes to solidarity tax. He expressed confidence in the Senate's swift approval of the legislation and urged the president to expedite appointments to the National Bank's board.
