Tax litigation

The professional expertise of our team members enables us to make the most effective use of the defence instruments provided by law in the cases we handle.

The services provided by our team cover issues relating to all taxes applicable in Poland, e.g. personal income tax, corporate income tax, VAT, tax on civil-law transactions, excise tax and customs regulations, as well as any other legal and tax issues examined during proceedings conducted by tax and customs authorities.

Polish tax legislation is constantly changing, with taxpayers not always keeping abreast of new developments. This situation, coupled with unclear wording of many legal provisions, gives the tax authorities a convenient opportunity to seek additional revenue for the central budget. In practice, there are many cases where tax authorities have provided arbitrary interpretations of unclear legal regulations to the disadvantage of taxpayers.
