The Minister of Funds and Regional Policy Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz proposed on Thursday to impose a one-off tax on extraordinary profits of banks. “Such a tax could, for example, be allocated to defense,” she said.
– I think that probably the best solution is a solution that was used in many European countries (…), i.e. such a one -time tax, sometimes extended for the next year, from “Manna from Heaven”, i.e. extraordinary, excess income – said Katarzyna Pełczyńska -Nałęcz on Thursday at RMF FM.
Tax on extraordinary profits
– Such a solidarity tax on “manna from heaven” could, for example, be allocated to defense (…). Since banks use people, let people also benefit from banks – she added.
She estimated that loans offered by banks are expensive and the interest rate on savings – low.
Mortgage loans are often the only way to buy your own apartment, but it is worth considering why in Poland these loans are almost the most expensive in Europe. This consists of many factors, with a margin of banks and the action of the National Bank of Poland. Material of the magazine “Poland and the world”. The entire edition is available on TVN24 GO.
