The Polish government has confirmed that Małgorzata Krok has left her position as Deputy Minister of Finance and Deputy Head of the National Tax Administration (KAS), following a decision by the Prime Minister. The Ministry of Finance said her departure took effect on 8 October 2025, marking the end of her term that began in February 2024. Finance Minister Andrzej Domański thanked Krok for her contribution to modernising the tax administration and for her role in strengthening KAS’s institutional capacity. During her time in office, she oversaw international cooperation, including coordination with European Union bodies on customs policy, as well as the introduction of new electronic systems for taxpayers and the development of the e-TOLL road charging platform. Her responsibilities also covered improving taxpayer services and expanding the digital tools used by both citizens and businesses. She participated in policy work linked to the forthcoming changes to the EU Customs Code and represented KAS in international forums. The Ministry’s announcement did not provide a reason for her departure, and no successor has yet been named. Government sources described the change as part of the normal rotation within the ministry’s leadership. Before joining the ministry, Krok built her career as a lawyer and tax advisor, specialising in public finance and international cooperation. Her professional background includes postgraduate studies in international finance at the Warsaw School of Economics. While her exit leaves a gap in the leadership of Poland’s tax and customs administration, officials said that ongoing digitalisation and service projects would continue under existing teams. The Ministry of Finance has not yet indicated when a new deputy will be appointed.
