The government wants to cut plots for apartments from state -owned resources

The government wants to increase the supply of land for housing, allocating, among others The land from state resources of companies – announced on Friday the Minister of Finance and Economy Andrzej Domański. He added that next week he would meet with the new head of the map.

The head of the new department in an interview with TVN24 said that next week he would talk with the minister of state assets Wojciech Balczun about the possibility of the state -owned company to launch the process of “separating his property”, so that the supply of land for housing can be increased.

He noted that “this must be done in such a legal environment that it would be safe for the boards that they were not charged with that they act to the detriment of companies.”

Domański emphasized that increasing the supply of land, simplification of investment procedures and reduction of interest rates are factors necessary to stimulate housing construction in Poland.

When asked about the possible introduction of catastral tax, Domański replied that work on such tax is not underway at the Ministry of Finance.

“It would of course be a revolutionwhich must be very well prepared if it were to be introduced. (…) It seems that this is a solution that is simply not appropriate at this stage, “he pointed out.

He explained that it would be a tax on the value of the property, so you would have to make real estate valuations or “use more simplified mechanisms, which, however, are often burdened with error.”

When asked about the so -called Belka tax (tax on capital profits – PAP) The minister stated that it would be limited, but not completely liquidated.

“As we said in the election campaign, Belka's tax will be limited. And this limitation must serve something. I am also responsible for the stability of the state's finances, (…) public finances. Therefore, with every change in taxes I have to (…) take this into account,” said Domański on TVN24.

He added that the change in this tax will be aimed at investments and innovations.

He explained that he is aware that – despite the fact that Poland is the 20th world's largest economy – some economic growth engines that fueled the economy in the previous 35 years are slowly running out.

“That's why we must constantly look for these new tools, these new growth engines and innovations are certainly one of them” – said the head of the new Ministry of Finance and Economy.

He pointed out that the level of use of advanced IT tools, including artificial intelligence among Polish companies, is at a very low level. He noted that it is necessary to create tools and encouragement to make it change.

The day before, Domański on TVP Info announced the introduction of a solution that will make savings and investments up to 100,000. PLN will not be covered by the beam. In the coming days we will inform about the details – he announced. (PAP)
