The Polish government is revisiting plans to increase excise duties on alcohol, with the Finance Ministry presenting a draft amendment to the excise tax law. The proposed increases are scheduled to take effect in 2027. The government intends to allocate the additional revenue generated from the tax hike to the National Health Fund. This move aims to bolster funding for the public healthcare system. Details of the specific tax increases were not immediately disclosed, but the proposal signals a renewed effort to leverage alcohol taxes for healthcare financing. The draft amendment will now undergo further review and debate before potential implementation.
