The Government Economic Committee has decided not to introduce the so-called single tax that was aimed to combine personal income tax and health and social insurance contributions into a single levy in Poland.

"Following consultation and comprehensive for-and-against analyses we have decided not to introduce this solution to the Polish tax system," deputy PM Mateusz Morawiecki was quoted as saying in a Finance Ministry statement on Wednesday.

The decision was particularly influenced by concerns that the new solution might negatively affect Polish entrepreneurs, the ministry added. (PAP)
