Free amount and tax threshold
One of the elements of the Polish Governance is the increase in the tax-free amount. It applies only to taxpayers who settle income shown on PIT-36 or PIT-37 taxed according to the tax scale, i.e. for example people employed full-time or on the basis of a mandate contract. From 2009, the tax-free amount was PLN 3,091. Later, from 2017, the highest possible free amount increased to PLN 6,600, and from 2019 it was PLN 8,000. In practice, it remained at the 2009 level for most taxpayers. From 2022, the tax-free amount will be PLN 30,000 per month, and the tax-reducing amount will be PLN 425 per month.

After the changes, incomes covered by 32 percent. the tax rate will apply only to those obtained in excess of PLN 120,000. As a result, for every zloty from the amount of 120 thousand. PLN, the tax will be 32 groszy, and on that above 85 thousand. up to 120 thousand – 17 groszy instead of the previous 32.
At the same time, the government also introduced changes to the provisions on health insurance, which means that the changes to the Polish Deal in the end become less favorable for the taxpayer. Currently, the health insurance premium is 9 percent. salary (after deducting the amount of contributions for retirement, disability and sickness insurance), but 7.75%. part of the contribution is tax deductible. The Act abolishes this deduction.
