European Country Passes New Law Giving Significant Tax Breaks For Families With Children

According to calculations by the presidency, an average Polish family is expected to be around 1,000 zloty (€235) per month better off thanks to the new tax break. The actual impact of the new regulations will only be visible in the 2026 tax return, which will be filed in 2027. The aim of the reform is to reduce the tax burden on families, increase disposable income, stimulate consumption and encourage professional activity. Nawrocki made zero PIT for families one of the pillars of his presidential campaign. The tax break follows a similar policy in Hungary, which provides income tax exemptions for mothers of two or three children. “Hungary stands with mothers. From October, working moms with three kids pay zero income tax for life. From next year, moms with two kids join them. Europe has never seen a family policy this bold – because without children, there is no future,” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said. Hungary stands with mothers.

The exemption for mothers of two will be phased in gradually from January, Orban said. “This will be a huge expense, but the reviving economy, the measures to support businesses and full employment combined are capable of paying for this in a way that the budget deficit and public debt both decline,” he said. Orban also said his government was ready to impose caps on surging food prices unless talks with retailers succeed in keeping prices under control, adding he could also limit food retailing profits as a last resort.
