On November 24, 2017, the Polish Parliament accepted draft
amendments to the Act on the social insurance system that will
liquidate binding limits on pension and disability insurance
contributions. Currently, the annual basis for pension and
disability insurance contributions cannot be higher than the amount
equal to 30-times expected average remuneration in the national
economy for the given calendar year (in 2017 the limit was PLN
127.890). After reaching the limit, pension and disability
insurance contributions were no longer paid.
As a result of the limit liquidation, pension and disability
insurance contributions will be paid on the whole remuneration
received by the employee. The new regulations will significantly
increase the additional costs of employment borne by employers and
will lower the net remuneration of the employees involved.
Below, we present the overview tables that show the essential
changes in the amount of pension and disability insurance
contributions for an exemplary remuneration of PLN 30.000 gross
before and after the amendments.
These amendments are currently progressing through the Senate.
The planned date for these new regulations to come into force is
January 1, 2018. However, several institutions, including the
Social Insurance Office, are requesting for a postponement of their
date of entry into force.
Regarding the number of questions that arise in this matter, we
will be happy to discuss the effects of the new regulations for
your organization and the potential steps that may be taken to
mitigate the resulting risks.

As more and more electricity generation is decentralised and produced from inherently inflexible energy sources, everyone agrees that the UK electricity system needs to become more flexible. There is no shortage of technologies and business models that could provide that flexibility and there are plenty of ideas about how regulatory change could facilitate their adoption.
With the help of industry experts including Robin Cohen (Vice President, Charles River Associates), Joanna Hubbard (COO and Co-Founder of Electron) and Cameron Welsh (Flexitricity), Dentons' Adam Brown and David Cruickshank will provide an insight into how much of a plan we might need in order to make the UK power system more flexible, followed by a lively discussion.
