US EditionPolish president signs zero income tax law for parents with two kids
The law exempts families earning up to 140,000 zloty annually from personal income tax to support household income and address Poland's declining birth rate.
- Polish President Karol Navrotsky signed a law introducing zero personal income tax for parents who raise at least two children, then forwarded it to the Sejm.
- Amid falling fertility and rising maternal age, policymakers advanced the measure as Poland’s prior family policies had limited effect and average maternal age rose to 29 years.
- A 7,000-zloty monthly earner receives roughly 395 zloty relief while a 12,000-zloty earner can save up to 913 zloty; families earning up to 140,000 zloty per year qualify.
- Tax specialists cautioned that wealthier households will gain most, as tax experts such as Piotr Juszczyk say low-income families gain negligible amounts and the presidency says financing will raise 14 billion zloty, but experts doubt this.
- The measure sits inside a broader 'tax armour' package including VAT reduction from 23% to 22%, capital gains tax abolition, and quota-based pension indexation, with the presidency saying the average Polish family gains about 1,000 zloty monthly.
