Notebooks, crayons, backpacks – the start of the school year is fast approaching and that means parents have to dig deep into their pockets. These are the last days to prepare the school supplies. So, shall we go shopping this Sunday, August 25?
The Sejm is working on a draft amendment to the regulations, allowing two trading Sundays per month.
However, before this happens, the March 2018 law gradually introduced the ban on trading on Sundays came into force. From 2020 onwards, the trading ban will no longer apply to the seven Sundays of the year: the last Sundays of January, April, June and August, as well as the Sunday before Easter and the two Sundays before Christmas.
So next Sunday will be commercial. On August 25th the stores will be open!
So this year, stores will open on Sunday, December 15th, and then on December 22nd.
The law restricting trade on Sundays provides for a catalogue of 32 exclusions. The prohibition does not include, among others: postal activity, provided that the revenues from this activity constitute at least 40 percent; revenues from the sale of a given facility. In addition, it does not apply to confectioneries, ice cream parlors, liquid fuel stations, florists, newsagents or cafes.
