Poland adopts 2027 budget project with major tax reforms
The Polish government has adopted its 2027 budget project, which outlines a massive scale of public spending and significant tax reforms. The proposed budget features expenditures of 977.6 billion PLN against revenues of approximately 695 billion PLN, resulting in a projected deficit of 282.6 billion PLN.
Key spending priorities include national defense, with an allocation of 198.1 billion PLN (exceeding 4.5 percent of GDP), and healthcare, which is set to receive 274.1 billion PLN. Infrastructure is also a major focus, with 103 billion PLN earmarked for projects including roads and railways.
To fund these expenditures, the government is proposing several tax adjustments. A central component is the reform of the Personal Income Tax (PIT) scale, which aims to benefit approximately 3.5 million taxpayers. The plan includes raising the first tax threshold from 120,000 PLN to 130,000 PLN and introducing a new 24 percent intermediate rate for incomes between 130,000 and 150,000 PLN. These changes are intended to be offset by increasing the Corporate Income Tax (CIT) for large companies and raising the solidarity tax from 4 to 5 percent.
Additionally, the government is planning to increase the sugar fee effective January 1, 2027, and is working on tightening regulations for family foundations and energy sector concession fees.
