However, the tax and its concept are under discussion in the European Commission. What exactly does the tax in question include? According to Minister Jadwiga Emilewicz, it will be a tax introduced only and exclusively on large-format stores. Moreover, it will not be charged on the turnover, but from the difficulties that such a store will create in a given urban tissue. It all sounds very intricate. It is not known what exactly will be included in the concept of difficulties mentioned by Jadwiga Emilewicz. According to the minister, it is mainly about traffic jams or more funds allocated to road investments. So, speaking of such factors, how will such a tax be calculated? The Minister assures that a special algorithm has been created for this purpose, which will allow the calculation of such a tax.
