The Act of 11 February 2016 on state aid in raising children introduced the right to untaxed child benefits of PLN 500 per month, which is granted to each second and subsequent child until they are 18 years of age. This benefit is an investment that is intended to increase human capital and support families in ensuring their children’s safety and favourable conditions for raising children, and thus aims to reduce the phenomenon of child poverty.
