New formula for local government revenues in 2026

This law introduces a temporary, new method for calculating the revenues of municipalities, cities, counties, and voivodeships for the year 2026. It changes how local governments will calculate their income from taxes and subsidies, which may affect the funds available for local services like schools, transport, and social assistance. For residents, this means potential changes in the financing of kindergartens, roads, and other public services in their area.
Key points
New temporary formula for 2026: local government revenues will be calculated using specific weights and indicators, such as the number of children in preschools, road length, or number of unemployed.
Impact on local finances: the change in the revenue calculation method may affect how much money a municipality or county will have for schools, public transport, social welfare, or green space maintenance.
Consideration of local needs: the new rules take into account specific factors like the number of students, households receiving social assistance, or the length of county roads, aiming to better reflect the actual financial needs of local governments.
