Confederation press conference attended by Bartosz Bocheńczak and Witold Tumanowicz, on 2 July 2024.
Witold Tumanovich:
– present – which time is it? – we will talk about the unfulfilled promises of Donald Tusk. It is even hard to number how many lies have already been said in the election campaign, which served to win elections, are being verified at this point! One specified lie is what Minister Domanski promised to rise the VAT limit.
Currently, it is simply a rate of 200 000, while it was increased last in 2017. The promise was that it would be increased by 20%. Over the same period, inflation increased by precisely – cumulative inflation – 46.8%. As for the increase in this limit: neither the viewer nor the hearer.
Actually, actually accounting for this, VAT exemption becomes a fiction for many companies. After all, the fact that they have higher turnover is not due to the fact that they are doing better, it is simply the consequence of increased inflation!
The European Union allows up to 360 000 limits, while, of course, the government of Donald Tusk, the Minister of Finance of Domański, does not usage this limit.

Minister Domański's budget gap is increasing at an alarming rate, so where is the minister looking for that money? He is looking for them in entrepreneurs and, as a result, in citizens.
Interestingly, since 1 January 2025 the European Union has allowed and allows for an increase in this limit, which is PLN 200,000. It allows to increase it to PLN 360 thousand. That's 85,000 euros.
So in the European Union, there is simply a anticipation to increase the limit in which this young entrepreneur, frequently young, but a fresh entrepreneur, who opens up an economical activity and can benefit from a certain advantage, that he is not a VAT payer from the start. In Poland, the Polish government says it will be a very low amount, due to the fact that only PLN 200 thousand. ...
