Business constitution will “help conduct business” – ZIPSEE CEO

The chairman of the Association of Importers and Producers of Electric and  Electronic Equipment (ZIPSEE), Michał Kanownik, stated that he believes the changes proposed by the government’s business constitution will improve relationships between businesses and government authorities. Kanownik was speaking to the Polish press at the Congress 590 on Friday. He pointed out that, in his opinion, tax collection procedures and regulations currently in place could be improved. According to the government’s new “Constitution of Business," the current practice, in which officials are permitted to perform re-inspections of tax, will be abolished. This practice, in the opinion of Kanownik, is a necessary step to changing the approach in conducting tax inspections in Poland. "Currently, they (tax inspections) are frequent and long, which disrupt the normal functioning of the company. It is necessary in the fight against tax fraud, but their excessive length means that they become a nuisance to many honest businesses.” ZIPSEE is an employer’s organization which brings together the largest IT and electronics importers and producers in Poland in an effort to promote their interests.
