Walesa admits to tax on film rights not paid
President Lech Walesa acknowledged paying no Polish tax on the $1 million he earned from life story movie rights. He called the amount “petty money” and noted his donation of the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize to Solidarity while campaigning against Alekander Kwasniewski. Tax estimates ranged from 10 to 30 percent with unclear Polish tax rules for foreign income.
