On October 14, 2016 Polish Ministry of Finance spokesman announced that attempts to introduce retail tax in Poland are postponed till January 1, 2018. As of September 1, 2016 the Polish Government introduced a new law obligating retailers operating on the Polish market to pay an additional tax on retail sales. On September 19, 2016 the European Commission opened an in-depth investigation into Poland's tax on the retail sector requiring Poland to suspend the application of the tax until the Commission concludes its assessment. In reply Poland’s Government vowed to press on with some form of a new tax against big supermarkets and suspended implementation of the current tax proposal on September 20, 2016.
