Zryczałtowany podatek dochodowy od przychodów osób duchownych po wprowadzeniu „Polskiego Ładu”: uwagi do ustawy z dnia 9 czerwca 2022 r. o zmianie ustawy o podatku dochodowym od osób fizycznych oraz niektórych innych ustaw
Lump-sum income tax on the revenues of religious ministers after the introduction of the government’s economic programme “Polski Ład” (Polish Order): reflections on the Act of June 9, 2022 amending the Personal Income Tax Act and some other acts

Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the Act of June 9, 2022 amending the Personal Income Tax Act and some other acts. One of the purposes of the amendment is to broaden the circle of taxpayers who will benefit from or remain unaffected by the changes introduced by the Act of October 29, 2021. Generally speaking, the drafters’ intentions should be viewed in a positive light. However, religious ministers who pay lump-sum income tax still remain outside the circle of taxpayers for whom the abolition of the possibility to deduct 7,75% of health insurance contributions from income tax has in some way been compensated. As argued by the authors, this contradicts the principle of equality, and hence the principle of tax justice. It is thus proposed to adopt provisions repairing the criticized state of affairs.
