Rafał Brzoska, head of InPost (a Polish logistics company known for revolutionizing parcel delivery with self-service lockers), has announced he will step down at the end of May from his role as the representative of Polish entrepreneurs in the government’s deregulation team, which has been working since February to simplify complex economic regulations.

Brzoska has long argued that Polish regulations favor foreign corporations over domestic businesses, citing mechanisms like transfer pricing rules that allow international companies to shift profits abroad, thus reducing their tax base in Poland.

In response, Prime Minister Tusk appointed him in February to lead a team tasked with drafting a deregulation package. By March, the government had received the first set of proposals aimed at simplifying national laws.

In an interview with the Polish state news agency PAP, Brzoska confirmed his intention to return full-time to running InPost, noting that while the company did not suffer during his 100 days of public service through his “SprawdzaMY” initiative, no business can thrive long-term without strong leadership.

Brzoska also highlighted what he considers the biggest legal injustice facing Polish entrepreneurs and taxpayers: the lack of presumption of innocence in tax disputes, where citizens are required to prove their innocence - unlike in criminal law, where the burden of proof lies with the prosecutor, even in serious cases like murder or rape.

He further criticized state institutions for failing to meet their obligations, such as missing decision deadlines, and expressed concern over what he sees as a decline in the work ethic across the European Union, emphasizing the need for hard work, innovation, and ambition to keep Europe competitive.
