Description
Although the Central Statistical Office does not provide detailed data on the growth rate of book prices, the overall comparison, which includes books, newspapers, magazines as well as drawing and painting articles, shows that the average annual price increase in 2011 amounted to 3.3% in this category. Moreover, as noted, the changes to the VAT Act increased the retail price of books by an average of 10% (some textbooks increased by up to 25%). It is emphasized that the price change was caused by the increase in the tax rate.
By analyzing the data contained in it, it can be concluded that the change in the value added tax rate had a negative impact on the level of book sales in Poland, and generally speaking, the publishers did not "take over" the economic burden of the tax impact on themselves to such an extent that the to gross price increases.
