Estimates based on tax returns and records of other levies paid for the benefit of local governments resulting from the laws in force. Breakdown into individual local government levels was made on basis of information concerning the amounts of taxes paid by individual companies of the PGE, employment at individual companies and communes, as well as information about division of income from Personal Income Tax and Corporate Income Tax between the local governments and the State Treasury in 2013 and 2014.
In the Kleszczów commune, which is the location for the largest lignite-based power plant and lignite mine in Europe, over 50% of all expenditures incurred by the local government in 2016 were financed from taxes paid by PGE Group.
