even if it is an integral part of the local landscape.

what do you mean by integral part of the local landscape - do you think that these people talk German at home?

Harry I am not sure to be honest if you were guilty of this but some posters here would call Prawo i Sprawiedliwość P i s s - if it was not you have you protested??

Do try and keep up

you are not keeping up as well - the quota of MdM support will be very low in 2016

ok - I got it wrong - the amount of money earmarked for MdM will be 15 million higher next year than this year - it is however prognosed that they will not meet the demand for that year

In other words, PiS intend to use TVP as their personal mouthpiece if they win power. It's exactly what happened between 2005-2007, and we can expect TVP to resemble something that Putin would be proud of.

none of what you say happened between 2005-2007 - Kaczyński complained that public TV does not support PiS even though he appointed Urbański as the head of said TV he was also not pleased with Wildstein before

Life / Water and Heating Charges in Poland [14]

cold water consumption is 5.55

it seems ok as the price of cold water in Warsaw is around 11 PLN per cubic meter

the hot water figure seems ok as well as 1 cubic meter of hot water costs 30 PLN in Warsaw

Language / Polish dative case: Why do you use "mu" in this sentence instead of "go" [9]

I'm not a linguist either but in many examples the English counterpart of Polish dative - like tell him, give him, show him - can be expressed with the preposition 'to' - like tell it to the strangers, give it to me baby ;) hehe, show it to him

I don't know if it's a strict rule though

News / Poland's PIS go back to their old ways [194]

This is why I lament the problem in Poland of experts being so heavily wrapped up in politics - we could do with some unbiased observations on the matter.

you are wrapped up in politics as well - IMF concerns don't bother you as long as the ruling party is PO I guess

News / Poland's PIS go back to their old ways [194]

Eurostat has been fiddling with statistical methods for the last while, and they started to include the black economy too. So it stands to reason that tax collected as a percentage of GDP would fall - particularly as some areas of the black economy (prostitution, drugs) are quite sizable in most European countries.

if that would be the reason IMF would not be concerned I think - and they are - btw i am not sure Polish GDP is calculated according to Eurostat methods as Poland is not part of the Eurozone

well I researched the topic a little and GDP calculated including illegal activities gave reasons to raise Brittish GDP by 0,7 per cent - let's assume in Poland it would raise the GDP by 2 per cent (which is very generous assumption I think) - the new methodology does not explain the observed amount of the fall of tax revenues as percentage of the GDP

Stop. Just stop.

here maybe it's not in nominal figures but in real value I don't know however its also the International Monetary Fund that says that the tax incomes fall in Poland since 2007 -

forsal.pl/artykuly/870704,polski-fiskus-najslabszy-w-regionie-wplywy-z-podatkow-spadaja-od-8-lat.html

the tax revenues as a percentage of GDP fall constantly

Member of PiS. Excuse me while I fall over in shock

he is one of the creators of vat an akcyza in Poland - anyway you have actually judged yourself

Member of PiS

he was not a member of PiS for a very long time - but he realized that current rulers of Poland ruin it - he speaks about privatization of tax law - especially the reversed VAT

The total collection in 2014 was budgeted at around 114 billion zloty. What you're claiming is that 1/3rd of VAT revenues have been evaded - which would be news all over the world if it were true.

as Modzelewski states the income of the state from taxation is constantly falling since 2008 despite constant economical growth and you say there is less and less of black zone in economy or no VAT evasion - between 2008 and 2009 the income of the state from taxation has fallen by 10 per cent from my memory - it's because crooks run this country - the constantly falling tax income causes the constantly growing budget deficit

And what is the political affiliation of those professors?

ever heard of professor Witold Modzelewski - I heard about him as early as early 90's - he is a known figure and hardly an "idiot" - pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witold_Modzelewski

Gumishu, come on... do you really believe that, or are you just repeating what the opposition says?

it's not what opposition claims - it is what very well known professors on taxation say - and it's not income tax evasion - it's VAT evasion which is significantly different - going after small businesses will not help here - they are choosing an easy way out but it will lead nowhere

Genealogy / Slavs are descendants of Sarmatians? [600]

Even Poles (see the link below) believed they are ancestors of Venedi.

Slavs are a bastard offshoot of Balts mixed with a little of Iranic Sarmatian remnants (Serbs and Croats were names of Sarmatic tribes)

History / When will you Poles give back German land and the cities which you robbed? [557]

They all speak good,

no they don't ALL speak good German - only those that you were shown on the TV - so called German minority in Upper Silesia is mostly ethinic Silesians who speak a Silesian dialect of Polish but were given economic privilidges (including the right to work in Germany when it was not allowed for Poles in general - e.g. since the 1989 till 2004) for claiming to be German (based on the citizenship of their parents and grandparents) - they also started to learn German then - I can speak better German than many of those who claim to be German minority in Upper Silesia

But the Germans could also have transferred the name "Venedi", name of some pre-Slavic folk, onto the Slavs when the latter arrived.

this is what most probably happened

Study / Is there racism in Poznan and hate crime against coloured people (students)? [59]

it has nothing in common with the biggest selling Polish newspape

Gazeta Wyborcza sells about 150 thousand copies daily - significant number of these is prescription from various public institutions - and well Gazeta Wyborcza is known to twist or even make up their 'facts' - what is more Gazeta Wyborcza earns a lot from the addvertising from state-owned business and public institutions - when these dry up the cost of a copy will soar

why do you think the government might be turning a blind eye to tax evasion?

it's about inherent corruption of the PO and PSL parties

ever heard Mr Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz state that this state (country) exists only theoretically? well you may never heard of Sowa tapes ok

How does this fit in with the fact that most banks are already Polish owned

******** bull ****

We currently have the cheapest (give or take 1 cent) fuel prices in the EU

ever heard of taxes normalization on fuel in the EU - Polish fuel can't be significantly cheaper than German fuel simple as that

delphi do you know the scale of VAT evasion in Poland - at the moment it is estimated at 50 billion PLN yearly - this is mostly due to the state neglect (and I personally believe that it is a deliberate neglect)
