Bronisław Komorowski signs last bill
14:38
On Wednesday evening, Bronisław Komorowski signed an amendment to the tax law, including a principle that any doubts in tax investigations must be resolved in favor of the taxpayer (in dubio pro tributario rule), the Polish Press Agency reported. Wednesday, August 5 was Komorowski's last day as the president of Poland.
The text of the amendment was created based on project drafted by the former president himself, Komorowski rejected improvements suggested previously by the Senate. Thus, in line with the law "Doubts in tax investigations that are impossible to delete must be resolved in favor of the taxpeyer," not "taxpayer or the investigation party," as the Senate wanted.
The law will come into force with the beginning of next year.
