Wholesaler or retailer? Problems with verifying counterparty status under the sugar levy
The levy on foodstuffs – the so-called sugar levy – has already existed in the Polish legal system since January 2021 and has continuously raised controversy and practical problems since then. One such problem is the failure of the law to specify how it should be verified whether the purchaser of the goods conducts only retail/wholesale sales or sales with both characteristics. Establishing this fact is important, as it determines who will be obliged to pay the fee. Recently, provincial administrative courts have addressed this issue in judgments, excerpts of which are worth quoting, as they may contribute to at least a partial resolution of the issue of verification of contractor status in the near future.

Hurtownik czy detalista? Problemy z weryfikacją statusu kontrahenta na gruncie opłaty cukrowej
Jednym z problemów tzw. opłaty cukrowej jest brak określenia w przepisach prawa, w jaki sposób należy zweryfikować, czy nabywca towaru prowadzi wyłącznie sprzedaż detaliczną/hurtową, czy też sprzedaż o obu tych cechach. Ustalenie tego faktu jest to o tyle istotne, że zależy od niego, kto będzie zobowiązany do uiszczenia opłaty. W ostatnim czasie wojewódzkie sądy administracyjne poruszyły ten problem w wyrokach, których fragmenty warto przytoczyć, ponieważ mogą one przyczynić się w niedalekiej przyszłości do przynajmniej częściowego rozstrzygnięcia kwestii weryfikacji statusu kontrahenta. Pisze o tym Łukasz Kopeć, prawnik w GWW.
