The Ministry of improvement and Technology led by PSL turns out to be a real mine of bad ideas. In the days of Christopher Hetman, he tried to push Credit 0 percent, which was so disastrous that both the organization and the Confederacy protested it. At that time, a much little media task of large deregulation was being prepared, which was outlined in April. Hetman's successor, Krzysztof Paszyk, intends to proceed his predecessor's work. The large deregulation is to be for the PSL what liberalising abortion for the Left or stealing money from the NFZ for Poland 2050 – the subject of the current term, which will prove to voters that this organization is inactive needed for something.
According to Deputy Minister Jack Tomczak, the task passed Interministerial consultation and in September will be on the Sejm's wallpaper. It is actually a full package of amendments that will make many changes in various areas of business. He has 1 goal – to be easier and more pleasant for entrepreneurs. Even if a fewer teeth are knocked out by the Polish state.
One of the changes introduced by the MRIT task will be the "one in, 1 out" mechanism, sometimes referred to as the ICU. An unimportant name fits well with this ridiculous idea. It imposes on legislators or authors of laws regulating circumstantial areas of economical activity the request for a parallel search for provisions to be removed – not only at the same time, but besides in the same matter. What if there are no rules to be removed? Will it be essential to search them by force and remove the legitimate and essential provisions? specified tying of hands to legislators is risky and harmful, but it may seem interesting to the pro-entrepreneurship electorate of the PSL.
Deregulation is simply a motive regularly scrolling in the political communicative of the alt-right. Let us remind that at 1 time mass dismissals in administration were an crucial component of the message, alongside the JOWs and the country's defiance. The large deregulation was besides attempted by Donald Trump, fortunately it was done backwards and a large part of these actions stopped courts and another institutions.
When Trump tried to push his plans, on pages Public Citizen appeared text deposing his deregulation propaganda. The authors indicated that there were no serious studies indicating the excessive cost of the regulation. On the contrary, according to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, American government generates 12 times more benefits than losses, counting in billions of dollars. They besides bring benefits in human life. The Clean Air Act, which was passed in 2010, besides imposed a number of restrictions on companies, but saved 165,000 lives by the way. Deregulation, however, brings crises and suffering – the deregulation of the financial sector from the 1990s and early 21st century ended in a gigantic economical crisis that caused poorness and even homelessness, millions of Americans.
The MRiT task besides assumes a muzzle on state control bodies – e.g. National taxation Administration, State Labour Inspection or Social Insurance Institution. It does, however, supply a number of powers to controlled companies, which will besides be enjoyed by the dishonest ones. The maximum time to check micro-enterprises from 12 to 6 days is to be reduced and the audit authorities will gotta supply the trader with a list of the papers needed before starting. This is expected to improve the control process.
On I've spoken. The National Trade Union Agreement, according to which these are not good ideas. The OPZZ indicated that over-information on the scope of control may make it hard to find the actual level of compliance of undertakings. Unfair companies will be able to prepare and hide their illegal behaviour more effectively. In addition, shortening the maximum check time to 6 days may prevent the detection of well-masked offences or crimes.
The free-market right convinced people that entrepreneurs are regularly harassed by long-term checks, resulting in them being incapable to operate. This is apparent nonsense, especially with respect to micro-enterprises, which control an overwhelming minority. For example, in order to be checked by the IRS, it is essential to first find its radar – for example, to show regular losses or costs that are not at all acceptable to a given kind of activity. An average micro-company, which conducts its gross and expense books reasonably on a regular basis, shows gross and pays them politely, but sometimes makes any mistake or intentionally bends the law, most likely will never be controlled by the tax.
This year’s example shows control NIK who checked the functioning of the taxation authorities. It turned out that taxation controls were effective in 97.5% of cases, and customs and taxation controls in 92%. This means that the taxation office controls almost exclusively the guilty – it simply perfectly analyses the data declared by taxpayers and, on the basis of them, types suspicious cases. And if so, expanding control powers means, above all, expanding the rights of law-abiding entrepreneurs. In addition, the NIK audit showed that the average taxation audit time was 140 days. This is due to the focus on large entities, in which there is much more documentation for analysis than in micro-firms, but this shows that the control procedure is simply time consuming – so limiting it to a fewer days for the smallest companies is not very reasonable.
Besides, the task is likely to include also changeswhich are straight targeted at unfair entrepreneurs. For example, the taxation government is to remove the provisions allowing for the extension of the five-year limitation period. presently the limitation period is interrupted in the event of an enforcement action, specified as a seizure of a bank account, even if it is ineffective. It is then counted from the beginning. Following the introduction of deregulation, enforcement authorities will no longer be able to extend the limitation period, which will benefit the taxation debtors.
Various institutions made complaints and regrets to the proposed legislation, as there are many smaller and larger legal gaps or possible risks. For example, the Office for Competition and Consumer Protection pointed outthat the deregulation improvement will weaken consumers' position vis-à-vis retailers. Why? At present, the consumer has the right to return the goods or to request their repair or price simplification if the goods are not in conformity with the contract. The Deregulation Act will limit this anticipation to a year from the minute of purchase. If there are errors after this time, the consumer will be able to thank Minister Pašik and the full PSL – preferably at the ballot box.
The Act will besides let the ZUS not to collect contributions from contracts of orders, the contractor of which is simply a non-registered entrepreneur, which will be another breach in the system, even if minor. Vice-President of the Public Procurement Office Agnieszka Olszewska in conversation with the Republic of Poland expressed concerns about plans to simplify public procurement procedures, in peculiar appeals. distant hearings before the National Appeals Chamber are to be introduced, shorter time limits and the alleged evidentiary preclusion, which may jointly prevent effective recourse to unfair tendering.
From the momentum, I will add, that in the setting of smaller wind installations (up to 3 meters) it will not be essential to have a licence for construction, which can introduce even greater spatial chaos. In addition, passenger cars utilized in investigation and improvement activities will most likely cease to be subject to excise work – like the remainder of the cars – which may be a gateway to lowering the acquisition price of the car. We'll have a dump of R & D cars.
The PSL's deregulation plans are so filled with risks and insignificant loopholes that are not entirely fair to entrepreneurs. The honest will gain excessively, as will the economy as a whole, but that is not the point.
