Last weekend our crew participated in the 4th National Regatta of Tax Advisors. It was our first opportunity to participate in the regatta and we got in the middle of the stake right away. The crew consisting of Angelika Dahms, Magdalena Górecka and Jan Wnorowski (steersman) took 7th place.
This year, 15 teams entered the race. On the first day, the competitors had difficulties due to a weak wind, while on the second day, they had beautiful wind in the sails.
See you next year!
This year has brought plenty of material changes. The legislator has introduced a number of new solutions, tax changes and even new taxes. We have witnessed the introduction of various types of "simplifications", the implementation of which has caused a huge amount of complications.
During today's Accounting Forum 2021, Zdzisław Modzelewski presents the SLIM VAT and SLIM VAT 2 packages – simplifications that sometimes make life difficult for taxpayers and accountants. The Accounting Forum is organized by Infor.

Why don't we imagine that the pandemic broke out a dozen or so years ago. Let's go back to 2009 – the year of changes. The World Health Organization (WHO) warned of the AH1N1 flu pandemic for the first time in 41 years. It was also the year of the global economic crisis. The unemployment rate in Poland exceeded 10 percent.
COMMENTARY by Rafał Duczek, legal advisor and supervisor of the GWW telecommunications law team
As far as the telecommunications market is concerned, fixed broadband lines with a capacity of up to 2 megabits per second were the most popular at that time – recalls Rafał Duczek, partner at GWW Law Firm, thus starting the discussion on the directions of European regulations vs. the reality in Poland. – Their market share exceeded 66 percent. In such circumstances, we would be doomed to a real lockdown. There is a great video in which a Russian student tells that he has to walk about 300 meters outside the village and climb a 9 meter high birch tree to participate in online classes.
We should realize that we have a completely different situation in Poland. We have made a real civilization leap. But this is not the time to celebrate. We are facing new challenges related to the European Code of Electronic Communications. Is it perfect? No, quite the contrary. Many solutions are simply detrimental. For example, the FTR regulation relating to the termination of calls in a public fixed telecommunications network. It is a solution that reduces the value of the market.

According to legal regulations, it is permissible to conclude a contract between a limited liability company and a member of its management board. They may, for example, rent real estate owned by them to the company. Who should represent the company in such cases to ensure validity of the contract?

The possibility of keeping one register for zone operations conducted on the basis of several permits and decisions on support is still a disputable issue between taxpayers and the tax office. Despite positive court judgments, tax authorities still issue decisions unfavorable for taxpayers and demand keeping several registers instead of one.
COMMENTARY by Aneta Skowron from GWW income tax team
According to Aneta Skowron-Biały, lawyer at GWW, the dispute with the tax authorities regarding the possibility of keeping one register for zone operations conducted on the basis of several permits or decisions on support has been lasting for several years.
– Actually, administrative courts agree from the very beginning that taxpayers are right, pointing out that there is no legal regulation requiring taxpayers to keep separate registers for each permit or decision on support. Taxpayers are only required to distinguish revenues generated on activities subject to exemption from other revenues, if they also operate outside the special economic zone or outside the area specified in the decision on support – notes Aneta Skowron-Biały. The expert also adds that the stubbornness of tax authorities is even more surprising as the jurisprudence of administrative courts in this area is really rich and uniform.
