Poland 2026 domestic policy and tax reforms

Overview

In August 2026, the Polish government formalized a tax reform package for 2027, prioritizing defense spending. The plan includes raising the second Personal Income Tax (PIT) threshold from 120,000 PLN to 130,000 PLN and introducing a 24% intermediate rate for incomes between 130,000 and 150,000 PLN, with a 32% rate for income exceeding 150,000 PLN. To fund these measures, the government proposed increasing the solidarity tax to 5% and raising the Corporate Income Tax (CIT) to 22% for large entities with annual revenues exceeding 50 million euros.

Political opposition has intensified. Paweł Szefernaker, Chief of Staff to Karol Nawrocki, criticized the reforms as “short-sighted and anti-demographic,” arguing the threshold increase only affects roughly 10% of the population. The Nawrocki camp has countered with a “PIT zero. Family on plus” initiative, which proposes exempting parents of two or more children from income tax and raising the second threshold to 140,000 PLN. This alternative aims to fund breaks by tightening VAT and CIT systems to combat avoidance.

Regarding social security, ZUS and KRUS began distributing the 14th pension in September 2026, with a maximum gross amount of 1,978.49 PLN. Legislative updates include Sejm support for widow's pension changes and the ‘Mama 4 Plus’ benefit for those who raised at least four children. Additionally, the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy is preparing to reform the ‘800 plus’ child benefit program for 2027 to allow for automatic renewals. A separate petition to the Sejm has proposed a new monthly pension supplement of 800 PLN for seniors with children currently working in Poland.
