Sejm blocks planned CIT increase in budget package
Published · Updated
What happened
The Sejm adopted amendments that stopped a planned CIT increase for the biggest companies, reducing an expected revenue line in the government's budget package. Deputy Finance Minister Jarosław Neneman said the Ministry of Finance would need to look for offsetting savings in the 2027 budget.
Why it matters
The amendment changes the government's fiscal arithmetic inside the ongoing budget process. It opens a concrete decision path on expenditure cuts or substitute revenue measures because parliamentary budget rules prevent increasing the deficit through this route.
In the last week, the Sejm accepted amendments that removed the government's planned corporate income tax increase for the largest companies from the budget package. Deputy Finance Minister Jarosław Neneman said the change means the government will have to find savings elsewhere in the 2027 budget. Because budget procedure does not allow the Sejm to raise the deficit at this stage, Donald Tusk's cabinet now faces a near-term choice between spending cuts, replacement revenue, or a coalition dispute over allocations.
