The Union of Polish Metropolises and the Association of Polish Cities are warning about the financial consequences of the Polish Deal programme coming into force.
How much are Bolesławiec and the municipalities of Bolesławiec County expected to lose annually under the Polish Deal?
According to the data published on natwojkoszt.pl, the city of Bolesławiec will lose PLN 11,628,440 annually; the (rural) municipality of Bolesławiec PLN 3,955,649; the urban-rural municipality Nowogrodziec PLN 2,616,225; the municipality Osiecznica PLN 1,693,294; the municipality Gromadka PLN 1,061,921, the municipality Warta Bolesławiecka PLN 1,700,170.
The authors of the calculation explain:
The estimate is based on the average decrease in PIT revenue stated by the Ministry of Finance in the regulatory impact assessment of the draft bill (26.8%). It refers to the amount of PIT shares planned for 2021, provided to all local government units by the Minister of Finance for the purpose of planning the 2021 budget.

As we read on the website of the Association of Polish Cities:
Cities will lose as much as PLN 145 billion over 10 years under the “Polish Deal” – this follows from the draft PIT and CIT bill, which implements the government programme’s tax proposals.
The published draft bill shows that we will all pay for it.
Local communities will lose PLN 145 billion over 10 years, while the central budget will gain a net PLN 27 billion.
Cities whose budgets are based on shares of PIT revenue will be particularly affected by the subsequent changes. Warsaw has already calculated that it will lose PLN 1.7 billion, Kraków PLN 0.5 billion, Wrocław more than PLN 400 million, Poznań more than PLN 300 million, and Gdańsk approximately PLN 250 million. This means less money not only for investment, but also for the cities’ day-to-day operations, and therefore reduced spending on education, public transport, municipal services and culture.
