Ministry of Finance (Poland)


Poland's Ministry of Finance, headed by the Minister of Finance , is part of the government of Poland. Among its powers and responsibilities it drafts the national budget, deals with taxes, financing of the local self-governments and issues related to public debt.
In the area of taxation, the ministry oversees a system of local and regional tax offices. A local tax office is called urząd skarbowy, while a higher-level office is called izba administracji skarbowej. There are approximately 400 of the former throughout the country, and 16 of the latter, one in each voivodeship. In each voivodeship there is also one "customs and tax control office" .
The Ministry of Finance existed alongside the Ministry of the Treasury, which was responsible mainly for the management of nationally owned assets, and the Ministry of the Economy.

The Ministry of Finance building is located in the quarter of Świętokrzyska, Czackiego, Traugutta and Krakowskie Przedmieście streets in Warsaw
It is an example of socialist realist architecture with elements of art-déco. In 2012, it was entered in the register of monuments.
The building was erected in 1953-1956 for the Ministry of Treasury. It was designed by Stanisław Bieńkuński and Stanisław Rychłowski.
The architecture combines the features of modernism with the canons of socialist realism style, while applying the palace assumptions of the Renaissance and Baroque period.
