The Minister of Finance and Economy Andrzej Domański was asked in Polsat News about the introduction of tax on extraordinary profits of the banking sector postulated by some politicians.
– I announced work that is currently underway in the Ministry of Finance, on the tax that would incur the banking sector. (…) We will inform you already in the coming days, weeks about the solution that we are currently working in the Ministry of Finance – said the minister.
He added that the provisions designed by the Ministry of Finance assume the imposition of “an additional amount of tax on the banking sector”.
– We know that the banking sector currently has very high profits. These profits are the result of high interest rates by the National Bank of Poland, (…) and therefore profits appear there, which at lower percentage rates simply would not occur – emphasized Domański.
Domański informed in June that the Ministry of Finance was working on tax on interest on the mandatory reserve kept by banks at the NBP. At that time, the minister pointed out that the budget revenues in 2026 could reach PLN 1.5-2 billion in this respect.
