The Congress opens the election campaign of the Law and Justice party. The debate focuses on the state of public finances and the tax burden on entrepreneurs.
On Saturday, an economic congress of Law and Justice was held under the slogan "Economy - our plan to heal the situation in public finances". As PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński emphasized, this is the first economic conference of such a wide scope, which opens the party's election campaign. Kaczyński emphasized that economic issues are crucial today, and overcoming the public finance crisis is a condition for Poland's return to the path of dynamic development.
Criticism of the current government and diagnosis of problems
The vice-president of PiS and the party's candidate for prime minister, Przemysław Czarnek, sharply criticized the current government for the increase in debt and the growing budget deficit. According to him, the gigantic budget deficit affects the lives of all Poles because there is no money for health care or investments. In his opinion, the current government cannot cope with inflation, and investments in the country have practically come to a standstill.
PiS's key proposals for entrepreneurs
During the congress, prof. Mariusz Andrzejewski from the University of Economics in Krakow presented details of PiS's economic proposals. The most important of them are:
Return to the health contribution rules from before 2022 - entrepreneurs would pay a flat-rate contribution from a base of 60%. projected average salary,
One-off depreciation of investment expenses - all entrepreneurs' investments could be included in tax-deductible costs once,
Restoration of the tax card and extension of the possibility of choosing the form of taxation until the end of April of the year following the tax year,
Voluntary nature of the National e-Invoice System (KSeF) for small and medium-sized companies for a period of 2-3 years,
Annual automatic indexation of tax thresholds.
Economy in numbers: challenges and opportunities
PiS experts emphasized that despite the difficult situation of public finances, the Polish economy still has strengths - high GDP dynamics, favorable exchange rates and low unemployment. However, the threat is the growing debt, which may exceed 55%. GDP in 2028, as well as high deficit and debt servicing costs.
