Tax law and business activity via Internet in Poland

May 28th, 2009, Tomasz Rychlicki

According to the latest judgment of the Voivodeship Administrative Court in Opole of 4 March 2009, case file I SA/Op 239/08:

When performing commercial transactions over the Internet in an organized and continuous manner, the taxpayer shall register such business and pay the taxes by virtue of performing such activity. Conducting a business with the use of internet networks is associated with the same tax obligations as operating business in the traditional manner, which includes, in particular the pursuit of tax revenue and expenditure accounts in such a way as to determine the income (loss), the tax base and amount of tax due for the fiscal/tax year.
