The tax-free allowance for Poland’s lowest earners will be increased to PLN 6,600 (EUR 1,490) a year under plans approved by the country’s parliament on Tuesday.
But those earning over PLN 127,000 a year will lose the right to the allowance under amendments which were backed by 221 MPs, with 182 against and 16 abstaining.
A pledge to raise the tax-free threshold was among a swathe of promises made by the governing Law and Justice (PiS) party ahead of its victory in Poland’s parliamentary elections in October 2015.
