What's new

The Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers has repeatedly highlighted the necessity to introduce far-reaching changes in the rules and regulations of employing foreigners in Poland. This need stems from at least two factors – the first being the current deficit of people of working age which presents an undesirable situation for entrepreneurs, i.e. lack of hands to work. The shortage of qualified employees at the moment is one of the major obstacles to the development of companies – including those from the SME sector.

Position of the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers on the termination of the term of office of the First President of the Supreme Court

As long as politicians accuse each other, as long as they maintain that it is them and not the other party who have an idea for Poland, and who convince to the solutions they propose – atypical and radical as they may be – we are witness to a normal discourse that does not significantly diverge from the standards adopted in other countries in the world. There are, however, some dimensions of the functioning of the state, which due to the raison d’etat should be removed from the rules of a brutal political dispute, within which it is allowed to do and say almost everything.

Position of The Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers on the proposed amendment to the provisions on leasing of passenger cars

On 13th June 2018, the Polish Ministry of Finance published a communiqué in which it outlined a number of tax changes planned for the coming months. The vast majority of these changes are a source of optimism –inter alia, the unification of the VAT rate matrix (the employers’ associations have been asking for such an amendment for a long time – it is necessary to end the absurd multiplication of rates for analogical products), the creation of a new Tax Ordinance Act, or the reduction of the number of reporting and information obligations that entrepreneurs are subject to.

The European Parliament voted against three mandates of the Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) regarding reports on the posting of workers, driving and rest periods for drivers, and cabotage as part of the works on the Mobility Package at the Strasbourg plenary session
