Poland plans to reinstate a 60% windfall tax on oil companies' excess profits earned from March–December 2026, with proceeds earmarked to lower domestic fuel prices. The government estimates the levy will raise about PLN 4 billion annually (~$1.06 billion). The bill was previously vetoed and referred to the Constitutional Court, which has not ruled; the government has resubmitted the measure and intends to approve it and send it back to parliament, urging the president not to block it again.
