At the beginning of August, Minister Andrzej Domański announced that his ministry is planning to introduce a personal investment account. Investments on this account up to 100,000 PLN are not to be taxed, including 25,000 PLN can be allocated to the savings part, i.e. deposits and bonds. Assets above the limit of funds are to be covered by tax in the amount of below 1 percent. According to the ministry, the solution would be available in the second half of 2026.

OKI are to encourage Poles to invest on the capital market. The account is to be voluntary, and access to funds – unlimited, i.e. paying them out at any time. OKI will be able to invest in all assets available on regulated markets, e.g. shares and bonds. Tax calculated on assets above the limit of 100,000 PLN is to be calculated on the basis of tax on capital gains and interest rates on annual or 3-year tax papers. The Ministry of Finance admitted that the tax “may be movable”, but on average it is to amount to 0.8 percent. asset values. The average value of assets accumulated on the account is to be calculated in a monthly or quarterly period.

Tax on capital gains was introduced in Poland in 2002 by the then Minister of Finance Marek Belka, who performed this function in the government of Leszek Miller. The popular name of Danina – Belka's tax – came from his name. It includes income from bonds, bank deposits and profits from the sale of securities, i.e., e.g. fund units or shares. The tax rate is 19 percent. The method of collection and tax settlement depends on the type of assets from which it is charged.
