Retroaktywne stosowanie klauzuli przeciwko unikaniu opodatkowania w opiniach Rady do Spraw Przeciwdziałania Unikaniu Opodatkowania
Retroactive application of the GAAR in the opinions of the Polish Tax Anti-avoidance Council

Summary/Abstract: The article contains analysis of the Polish Tax Anti-avoidance Council reasoning relating to intertemporal issues connected with general anti-avoidance rule application. It concentrates on the fact that the council came to the conclusion that intertemporal rule may be applied, in respect to taxes calculated on calendar year basis, for the whole 2016, while the regulation itself came into force as of 16 July 2016. The authors challenge the Council view that it is not entitled to interpret GAAR intertemporal regulation in view of constitutional principals, claiming that the law should be read in such way not to breach rules resulting from this act. As a consequences in their view the Polish GAAR may not be applied to taxable events that were recognized before 16 July 2016.
