Możliwości wprowadzenia podatku dochodowego w rolnictwie w opiniach rolników indywidualnych

Abstract

The paper presents individual farmers’ opinions concerning some suggestions on imposing income tax on agriculture. Assumptions and results of this tax implementation were assessed. Research results indicate that farmers generally are not definitive opponents of the income tax introduction into Polish agricultural sector. However, farmers judged this proposition as being unbeneficial for them mostly since complicated tax settlements and potential inspections by the tax offices. Moreover, they are willing to accept potentially lowest tax rate on their earned income without subtracting the costs of farmer’s own labor and of farm family labor. Farmers perceived potential advantages of the agricultural income tax introduction such as tax relieves and tax exemptions, as well as exclusion of some quasi-farmers from the system. Farmers were also in favour about concept of progressive income-tax and lump-sum tax with lower rates
