Andrzej Domański: 3.5 million Poles will benefit from the new PIT thresholds from 2027
Andrzej Domański, Minister of Finance and Economy· claimed on Oct 29, 2026 · original source
On 29 October 2026, in an interview with Polsat News, Minister of Finance and Economy Andrzej Domański said that 3.5 million Poles would benefit from the changes to PIT; the Ministry of Finance writes about approx. 3.5 million taxpayers settling their taxes under the progressive scale. From 2027 the change is to raise the first threshold from 120 to 130 thousand zloty and introduce a 24% rate for income from 130 to 150 thousand zloty; it is to be financed, among other things, by a higher CIT for the largest companies. According to preliminary Ministry of Finance data from the settlement for 2025, 2.411 million people exceeded the second threshold, so 3.5 million is a forecast for 2027. The matter will be decided by the act entering into force (the President's signature) and by the PIT settlement data for 2027.
For 2025, 2.411 million taxpayers exceeded the second threshold, not 3.5 million
According to preliminary Ministry of Finance data from the PIT settlement for 2025, published on 26 May 2026, 2 million 411 thousand taxpayers exceeded the second threshold, which is "close to 10 percent" of those paying PIT; a year earlier it was 1 million 935 thousand (7.6%). The figure of 3.5 million therefore does not describe current taxpayers, only a forecast for 2027.

The PIT reduction depends on the President's signature
Bankier.pl reports that the Minister of Finance is counting on the signature of President Karol Nawrocki under the tax changes. The President either signs or vetoes the act in its entirety, so if he does not sign it, no one will benefit from the new threshold in 2027.
