this way. The revenue of the State budget or local budgets increased approximately by the amount of forgone revenue in the situation the tax structures constituting tax expenditures had been abolished. As noted previously, the method of estimation based on revenue forgone does not take into account changes in the taxpayers‘ behavior and therefore it could be deceptive. However, the extent of tax expenditures identifted in the Polish tax system, means that an in-depth analysis that will answer the ąuestion: whether direct spending would be morę effective than spending realized through the special system of tax allowances, exclusions and deductions, should be immediately started. Furthermore, it is particular necessary to immediately begin refonning and simplifying the tax system, which can lead to a reduction in individual tax rates for all taxpayers, not just selected beneficiaries of the tax privileges.

5. Conclusions

Tax expenditures should be considered as a speciftc substitute of budget expenditures. Their Identification and analysis are therefore an essential element of shaping a transparent fiscal policy, enabling not only the in-depth scrutiny and control of all public expenditures and hence improving the efificiency of public finances. The following studies prove that the estimation and evaluation has not been so far part of the budget procedurę in Poland. Taking into account the reąuirements of the Codę of Good Practices on Fiscal Transparency, as well as the OECD recommendations for the transparent budget proceeding, however, it is worth considering whether the Polish procedures should not be changed. In an ideał fiscal system, all tax preferences should be properly “balanced” in the process of preparing the budget so as compared with altemative ways of financing them. Fuli integration of tax expenditures with the budget will undoubtedly enhance fiscal discipline and enable seeking for morę effective programs, which is of particular importance in terms of limited public funds.
