Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [396]

Last night was raining but still had a grill - some chorizo from Lidl and some klopsiki. Had with a bottle of Lidl Chilean Carmenere - I think 30 zloty from their Deluxe range and really excellent with that kind of food

Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [396]

Chianti is such a versatile wine - great with grilled meat, with pasta or cheese, or just with a cigarette

Like Chardonnay it had a period of people thinking it was bad just because it is popular. I love the stuff.

Law / Rejecting an Inheritance in Poland [6]

There are plenty of examples on google and chat gpt

Law / Rejecting an Inheritance in Poland [6]

For your kids and grandkids maybe just ignore it - the rules changed a few years ago and they can only be liable up to the value of any assets left by your brother.

For yourself, you can maybe give a pelnomocnictwo to one of your relatives to reject it on your behalf. But in any case the default state is as above - you can only be liable up to the value of any assets left over

The courts are several years behind in most civil issues - the simplest commercial registrations are often taking 6 months+ since lockdown.

Here is a useful page, up to date even if poorly written - if the amounts involved are large then contact a lawyer

The idea JR is that you tell us your picks before, not post factum.

Bobko understands even though I can't see his choices prospering until oil prices recover

You can certainly enter the EU - don't worry about that.

Are your kids and grandchildren Polish citizens ? Have they ever visited Poland ? Are the grandchildren adults or still under 18 ?

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [381]

In Poland ? Most " second homes" are small wooden shacks on a dzialka or maybe for the upper classes a small flat on the coast.

Taxing them for standing empty won't help homelessness and irrespective of the morals it's a bad tax from a politicians viewpoint because it would be unpopular but raise hardly any money

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [381]

Income from second homes is already taxed in Poland and capital gains tax also payable on second homes

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [381]

We buy them JR. with our taxes. And are normally locked into long term agreements

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [381]

Give it a rest JR. we are paying for the US presence and while the cutting edge weapons are nice, they are also expensive. I can't help thinking a few finance ministers are looking at what Ukraine has just achieved with 500 dollar drones

Travel / Looking Any Clean Hostel in Warsaw nearest to Muslim community [15]

The stretch of Marszalkowska and the side alleys from Novotel to the Italian Institute is getting pretty Arab - 3 shisha bars and maybe 5 kebab places. But plenty of pubs too - maybe it's cosmopolitan rather than "muslim"

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [381]

What's wrong with tax enforcement on multinationals at the moment in Poland ? It is higher than in most countries and both PiS and PO have made it stronger (in fact it's over the top at the moment - way too much form filling and little commercial understanding)

So that leaves the idea of a tax on tech companies. Good luck with that - it's a good concept morally but Poland is an expendable country for them and in any case Golden Cow will back them to the hilt

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [381]

In the 8 years in charge PiS were in economic terms, the most leftwing govt in the EU.

High spending, new taxes aimed at small businesses and the successful, statist control of large industry, persistant interference in the forex market.

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [381]

I have a farm too Amiga. For 25 years now. And I don't spend all my farming days moaning about how the govt, the EU and Biedronka owe me a living

When it comes down to it we are all sick of PiS voters bellyaching

News / Karol Nawrocki - the New President of Poland [381]

I imagine Tusk's tactic will be to introduce some popular legislation and then challenge Nawrocki to veto it. That means more giveaways - just at a time when the debt is already high.

But in any case that is what a lot of Nawrocki voters want - handouts from the hardworking city taxpayers
