Solidarity charge - a new non-tax levy

The Government on September 3, 2015 adopted a Regulation on Amendments to the Energy Act and a Regulation on the Criteria for Granting the Status of Vulnerable Consumer of Electricity from the Energy Grid, with a view to basing its welfare policy on subsidizing electricity costs rather than providing social transfers. The use of electricity price for welfare policy purposes is a classic example of the government's quasi- fiscal activity, with an unknown financial effect and no accurate information on the number of potential beneficiaries of such a welfare measure. However, as of October 2015, the so- called „solidarity charge“ will be added to the Government's hidden levies list.
