Polish Government Mulls Tax And Customs Merger

by Ulrika Lomas, Tax-News.com, Brussels

14 February 2002

The Polish Finance Ministry has announced that it is considering unifying tax and customs inspection services.

In a statement released earlier this week, the Ministry of Finance explained that the move was being considered in order to 'reduce the annoyance and intrusion of inspection procedures', and that the number and duration of inspections would be substantially reduced if the two Government departments are merged.

Other tax system reforms tabled for discussion include the formation of special teams for auditing large companies and the liquidation of the General Customs Inspection Board. Tax and customs liabilities may also have their limitation periods shortened from five to three years under the planned reforms.

The Government announced that the location of the new combined inspection offices has not yet been decided, but that negotiations are set to conclude in April, and that further details will be released then.
