Poland Again Delays Tax Reforms, Citing Pandemic

Poland has once again delayed carrying out reforms to its withholding tax system, according to an announcement made by the finance ministry, which cited the COVID-19 pandemic to explain the move.

The Ministry of Finance on Monday published two decrees dated June 25 announcing the delay to a rollout that had been scheduled for Wednesday. The new target date for the reforms to take effect is Dec. 31.

Originally, Poland had set a target of Jan. 1, 2019, to begin using its new system for collecting withholding tax, but several delays have plagued its deployment.
