Business angels in Poland call for tax changes for innovation
Polish private investors, known as "business angels," are drawing attention to the difficult conditions for doing business in the country. In their view, current tax regulations do not sufficiently support those who want to finance young, innovative companies. The investors emphasize that without appropriate systemic changes, the development of Polish start-ups could be stifled.
Currently, private capital plays a key role in the economy, accounting for more than half the value of many innovative projects. Despite this, investors complain about unclear interpretations of regulations by tax authorities. They argue that the tax office treats their activities too harshly, which discourages them from risking money on new, high-risk technological ventures.
Representatives of the business community are calling on the government to introduce special tax reliefs. Such solutions would encourage more people to invest in Polish innovation. According to the investors, the state should create a more friendly legal environment that would allow for the faster development of domestic technologies and increase the competitiveness of the Polish economy on the international stage.
The discussion regarding changes to tax law for investors is ongoing. Experts point out that support for business angels is essential to maintain the growth rate of the start-up sector. Now the decision rests with lawmakers, who must consider whether introducing new tax reliefs will bring benefits to the entire Polish innovation system.
