Poland’s Finance and Economy Minister plans to introduce a windfall profits tax on banks, citing high profits driven by elevated interest rates from the National Bank of Poland.
Poland’s Minister of Finance and Economy has announced plans to introduce legislation for a windfall profits tax targeting the banking sector.
The finance ministry attributes high bank profits to the National Bank of Poland’s elevated interest rates. In June 2025, it was revealed that a tax on interest from banks’ mandatory reserves at the National Bank of Poland was being developed. The minister estimated this tax could generate PLN 1.5-2 billion in state budget revenue by 2026.
