Changes in taxes and courts, support for local producers. Here is the deregulation program 2.0
Poland's government has implemented significant deregulation measures aimed at reducing bureaucracy and simplifying regulations, impacting various sectors including public procurement and taxation.
Following a year of work by the SprawdzaMy initiative and the government deregulation team, Poland has seen progress on 354 proposals to reduce bureaucracy and simplify regulations. Out of these, 193 changes have been implemented by the government, with 126 already in force. Maciej Berek, the government oversight minister, acknowledged that while the first stage of deregulation involved numerous changes across various areas of law, these adjustments, though not comprehensive reforms, are significant for affecting people's daily lives.
The deregulatory changes affect a wide range of economic aspects and citizen affairs. Notably, for entrepreneurs, an important modification has been raising the threshold for the application of public procurement law from 130,000 to 170,000 PLN. This change is expected to expedite processes and alleviate burdens on smaller businesses. There are also adjustments in tax laws and civil matters that aim to create a more conducive environment for local producers and entrepreneurs, supporting growth in these sectors.
Overall, the ongoing efforts toward deregulation signify the Polish government's commitment to fostering a more business-friendly environment and responding to the needs of its citizens. By addressing various aspects of bureaucratic processes and laws, the hope is to not only support local production but also stimulate economic growth by reducing red tape and facilitating operations for businesses across the board.
