Poland and Polish Discussion Group and Forum

Welcome to the original English language Poland and Polish discussion group board. This message forum is a place where English-speaking Poles, foreigners (expats) living in Poland, and anyone with a genuine interest in Poland can discuss and read the views of others concerning Poland. Subjects include: Polish news and current affairs; Life in Poland; politics; genealogy research; Polish culture and history; advice and tips on visiting Poland; Polish property and investment issues. The aim of our group is to increase awareness of wonderful Poland using the English language and allow and foster the honest debate and exchange of opinions on anything vaguely related to Poland and Polish - positive, negative and/or neutral! This discussion group is not an open-to-all public message board. Membership is by invitation only and therefore given that a fairly limited number of people have full access, it is more of a community blog than a straightforward forum. This application system was brought in to lessen the amount of spam and nonsensical and commercial posts made by casual visitors and off-topic and offensive posts left by a disruptive minority. To ask  a one-off question about Poland or respond to comments made on this board without a password just email us and provided it is at least halfway sensible, we'll post it on the board for all to see and current members will try to respond! All opinions and views expressed on this site are solely those of their respective authors and are not necessarily those of anyone else!

Poland: Taxmen demand blood

This made me laugh....I wonder if they will adopt it in the UK and maybe later on organ transplants!

http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_2738145.html

Polish taxmen are offering Poles the chance to pay their tax bills in
blood.

Every donation to the local blood banks will allow Poles to write £30
off their tax bill.

Donors have to get a certificate from the hospital for every litre
donated that can then be sent to the taxman and written off against
their final tax demand.

Regular donor Dariusz Gryka, from the north-eastern town of Bialystok,
said: "I learnt about it from an accountant friend and started to give
blood last year.

"I have only done it three times, but already it has been worth it."

If they do they probably have to declare them...

Poles should give semen - there is a massive shortage of donors in the UK since the govt said the resulting children can get access to info on reaching majority.

I think it's about GBP 200 a squirt.

I'm sure if the inland revenue in the UK gave tax breaks for squirts there would be more donors....
