Determining the date from which an entrepreneur can start operating a plant based on the environment use permit, although it seems so, is not so obvious. So what to pay attention to and how to protect yourself against false start? An answer to this question can be found in article by Marta Banasiak, M.Sc. in Environmental Protection, attorney-at-law trainee.

The industry is still moved by the ground-breaking judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union issued in the case of Budimex S.A. We would like to remind you that in the GWW team running the case was led by Małgorzata Militz, attorney-at-law, partner.
The judgment defined the moment when it can be assumed that a construction service or construction and assembly service was performed for the VAT purposes. The decision of the Court was considered as extremely important both in the trade press and journalistic press (Forbes, bezprawnik.pl), and was also appreciated by the largest law offices dealing with tax consulting in the country.
We invite you to read the article on this key judgment for the construction industry: https://www.forbes.pl/opinie/kiedy-usluge-budowlana-mozna-uznac-za-wykonana-decyzja-trybunalu-w-luksemburgu/qrjgne9

On Saturday, 18 May, the Company Run took place in Wrocław, in which our representation from the Wrocław branch participated for the first time. We were represented by: Paweł Wójcik, attorney-at-law, partner, Elżbieta Kamińska, attorney-at-law, partner, Grzegorz Karwatowicz, associate, of counsel, Magdalena Węglowska, and Paulina Charytoniuk.
Companies could enroll five-person teams that needed to run at a distance of 25 km, of which each competitor ran 5 km.
This is the 7th edition of the Company Run, the idea of which is to promote healthy competition and physical activity among employees and the willingness to help the children most in need. This year, the income is earmarked for the treatment and rehabilitation of the charges of the Everest Foundation in Wrocław. As much as 10,000 people took part in the Saturday charity Company Run 2019 in Wroclaw.

Chapter 11a of Section III of the Act of 29 August 1997 – Tax Ordinance, which has been in force since 1 January 2019, introduced a duty to provide information about tax schemes. The direct reason for the adoption of new regulations was the obligation of each Member State to implement Council Directive 2018/822 of 25 May 2018 amending Directive 2011/16/EU as regards mandatory automatic exchange of information in the field of taxation in relation to reportable cross-border arrangements (MDR Directive). Even though, in many aspects, the Polish legislator considerably extended the scope of activities treated as tax schemes, it failed to meet the minimum standard of harmonization due to incorrect transposition of the main benefit test and the cross-border criterion.
A member of the management board of a limited liability company (spółka z o.o.), who wants to perform certain actions on its behalf, must – in some cases – obtain consent not only of the meeting of shareholders, but also of the supervisory board. What can be the consequences of disregarding these obligations?
In today's issue of Dziennik Gazeta Prawna, we can find an article by Marcin Borkowski, PhD, "It is not always sufficient to obtain shareholders’ consent".
We will certainly not surprise anyone by pointing out that waste permits involving waste collection or processing must be adapted to the regulations amended last year, and the deadline expires on September 5, 2019. However, not all waste producers have paid attention to the fact that the change of waste permits will indirectly affect their responsibility. We invite you to read an analysis devoted to the issue in this respect.
