Poland's prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, has scrapped the country's 18% income tax rate for under-26s earning less than PLN85,500 ($22,017) a year. Almost 1.7 million Poles have emigrated to countries including the UK, Sweden and Germany, resulting in an acute lack of scientists, doctors and IT specialists. Morawiecki's decision fulfils a key pledge before the general election in November.
