Yesterday there was a solemn announcement of results of a Ranking of Tax Advisory Companies 2019 organized by Rzeczpospolita, during which we received a distinction in the category of the prestigious win in real estate tax courts. In this category, the jury awarded for the winnings in administrative courts, in groundbreaking tax matters.
Justification: For the judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court of November 29, 2018, regarding tax qualification of buildings owned by operators from the gas industry, the court found it incorrect to define a building as a subject to property tax based on the regulation of the Minister of Economy of 30 April 2001. According to the NSA, it is not possible to formulate definitions of statutory terms in a lower-order act.
The judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court of April 6, 2019, regarding taxation of property on telecommunications facilities. According to the judgment, the declaration made by the buyer is not evidence of relevant circumstances arise on the property tax to the seller. The key role in the case was played by the attorney Kamil Szczęsny.

The amendment to the Code of Commercial Companies and Partnerships, which entered into force on 1 March 2019, was intended to answer the question of who can sit on the board of a professional partnership. The amended regulations determine that apart from partners, third parties may also become members of the management board of the professional partnership. However, a new problem has arisen. The amended regulations require that at least one partner should be a board member. This means that partners must choose one from among them who will become a member of the board.
As a consequence, the amended regulations result in deterioration of the position of partners. Instead of facilitating their exercising of a free profession in the form of a professional partnership, new obligations are imposed on them.
