“The restoration of food prices will result in an increase in prices. Only those who do not have a heart can act like this… they have a heart, but it is glued and only made of paper. It is a farce, they want to rob people in the majesty of the law. Of course, these actions will be supported by the voices of experts ‘, Mr. Donald’s colleagues. Yesterday, Mr. Michał Kobosko from , today Mr. Andrzej Domański, the chief economic advisor of the liberals. Poles, hold on to your wallets! The good of Poles has never been a priority for them,” thunders Marlena Maląg on the X platform. The problem, however, is that her party wanted to restore the higher VAT rate in the new year.
From February 1, 2022, due to the pandemic and the fight against high inflation in Poland, the rate was reduced to 0%. VAT rate on food – previously it was 5%. In 2023, it was decided to leave the lower tax rate until the end of December, but from January 2024 it is to be 5% again. so she criticizes the idea authored by the government of her own political party, which is what commentators pointed out to her.
“After all, it was your idea to return VAT on food in January 2024”
“After all, it was your idea to return VAT on food in January 2024 and it was you who included VAT revenues in the budget act, which will return to its value at the beginning of the year. You are incredible in your hypocrisy,” comments Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik.
“The cynicism and hypocrisy of this entry are the Himalayas squared. It was the PiS government, together with Minister Marlena Maląg, who assumed the restoration of VAT rates on food in the 2024 budget. After all, the Minister, as a member of your government, accepted it and sent this project to the Sejm,” she adds economist Sławomir Dudek.
“Madam Minister, you may have missed this fact, but the government of which the Minister was a member proposed the restoration of the 5% VAT rate on food in the draft budget for 2024,” Patryk Słowik, a journalist from Wirtualna Polska, also reminded her.
Moreover, the X platform itself added a context to the entry in which we read that “the current government has decided that VAT is reduced until the end of 2023, not longer, and that in 2024 it will be 5 percent.” A link to the government website was also included, where it was stated that the VAT rate would be reduced only by the end of 2023.
