“Bull” in the Sejm. MPs agree like never before
MPs of the Sejm Petition Commission unanimously rejected the petition on solutions that may resemble the so -called Bull. It assumed an increase in pension contributions for childless after 30 years of age and parents of the only child.
On Tuesday, the Sejm Commission for Petitions took care of the petition on the dependence of the amount of retirement insurance contributions on the number of children.
A petition on a solution that may resemble the so -called The bullflow was received by the Sejm in February this year. Its author suggested that childless people over 30 pay a double pension contribution, and parents of the only child – higher by 50 percent. The higher premium would not cover people who have a document that they are sterile and those who have died a child.
The creator of the petition pointed out that “childless people, without contributing to the future increase in the number of taxpayers and contributions, naturally burden the system, without compensating their participation in his future maintenance.” In his opinion, the introduction of such a solution would not only increase revenues to ZUS even “by several dozen billion zlotys a year”, but could also encourage Poles to have more children.

As many as 67.3 percent had the opposite opinion. respondents, and 13.7 percent respondents had no opinion on this matter.
