Summary/Abstract: The institution of voluntary submission to liability is extremely practical and beneficial for both parties to proceedings in cases involving tax offenses. It is a solution that allows for a quick conclusion of the case. Importantly, this kind of conclusion results from negotiations and, consequently, from an agreement between the perpetrator and the financial body of the preparatory proceedings. Consensual elements in the current model of penal policy are a unique but an already permanent feature in the catalog of tools used by fiscal penal law. From the observation and practice of applying this institution, it can be concluded that this criminal law structure brings tangible benefits for a broadly understood administration of justice. Grzegorz Skowronek’s article offers an analysis of regulations, with particular emphasis on the conciliatory nature of this procedure.
