From July 2022, changes in taxes come into force. PIT will be lowered from 17 to 12 percent. This means that many Poles will be able to count on higher salaries from this month. Unfortunately, the net increase will not apply to those receiving the minimum wage. On the other hand, an increase (and double) for the minimum wage is prepared in 2023. How much does the employer have to pay to the person receiving the minimum wage in 2022? What will the rates be from next year? We write about it in the article.

From July, further tax changes prepared by PiS enter into force. One of the most important is the reduction of the PIT rate from 17 to 12 percent. This will entail a net increase for many people. However, this situation will not apply to employees receiving the minimum wage. Why?
–
Poland is struggling with high inflation, and the rise in prices is particularly felt by those on the minimum wage. PLN 3010 gross is currently the minimum wage in Poland. The hourly wage is 19.70 PLN gross.
For comparison, the average salary in Q1 2022 was PLN 6,235.22 gross (data from the Central Statistical Office).
–
If the tax changes under the Polish Order did not come into force in January 2022, an employee receiving the minimum wage would receive approximately PLN 2,210 net under the previous rules. However, if we calculate the remuneration taking into account tax changes as part of the “Polish Order”, the minimum net salary is PLN 2,363.56. This amount will not change after the introduction of tax changes in July 2022 (PIT reduction from 17 to 12 percent). Reason? The minimum wage will not change as it is entirely covered by the exempt amount.
