Purpose: To analyse the impact of the Polish fiscal regime on the general revenue of the country, and specifically to establish whether the cumulative tax burden borne by Polish households is progressive or regressive.Methodology: On the basis of Eurostat and OECD data, the author has analysed fiscal regimes in EU Member States and in OECD countries. The tax burden of households within different income groups has also been examined pursuant to applicable fiscal laws and data pertaining to the revenue and expenditure of households published by the Central Statistical Office (CSO).Conclusions: The fiscal regime in Poland is regressive; that is, the relative fiscal burden decreases as the taxpayer’s income increases.Research Implications: The article contributes to the on-going discussion on social cohesion, in particular with respect to economic policy instruments aimed at the redistribution of income within the economy.Originality: The author presents an analysis of data pertaining to fiscal policies in EU Member States and OECD countries and assesses the impact of the legal environment (fiscal regime and social security system) in Poland on income distribution within the economy. The impact of the total tax burden (direct and indirect taxes, social security contributions) on the economic situation of households from different income groups has been calculated using an original formula.

The analysis and evaluation of the system of the Open Pension Fund and Universal Pension Fund, i.e. OFE/PTE, conducted in 2012 and 2013, led to the conclusion that the pension system reforms of 1997 did not meet their objectives – safety and stability of the social insurance system and its balancing. The basic objective of the reforms – a growth of pensions – as predicted in the justification to the law of 1997, was not achieved either. Further and deeper changes to the pension system have become necessary, and it was set out in the law of 6 December 2013 on the changes of some legal acts related to the rules of payment of pensions from the resources collected in open pension funds. In the model that has been in force since 31 January 2014, the pension system will be still based on the three-pillar system and the private-public legal structure of the second pillar. Open pension funds have not been liquidated, but their competence has been limited.
