Polish finance ministry to exempt property insurance proceeds of flood victims from PIT and CIT
Polish Ministry of Finance wants to exempt from PIT and CIT the income of flood victims from property insurance payments, the MF's legislative work list states.
"The draft regulation contains a proposal to waive the collection of personal income tax within the meaning of the PIT Act and corporate income tax within the meaning of the CIT Act on income (revenue) earned respectively by personal income taxpayers in connection with their business activities and corporate income taxpayers on property insurance compensation received by victims, as defined in Article 2 of the Act on special solutions related to the removal of the effects of flooding, in connection with the September 2024 flood," they wrote.
The solution would apply to natural persons, legal persons and unincorporated organisational units who, as a result of the flood, have suffered property damage or have lost, even temporarily, the use of their property or premises.
The abandonment would cover income (revenue) received by beneficiaries of support from September 14, 2024 to December 31, 2026, so the abandonment period would be extended by an additional 1 year. This would allow the regulation to cover the period from the first day of the flood, with a view to the next 2 tax years.
