Company car drivers give a big honk as car tax is shelved

According to the previous draft all companies would have to pay it. After a series of articles (also in Puls Biznesu) the ministry decided that only the companies which declare the use of cars for private purposes will be subject to the new tax. Thus the ministry avoided breaking the EU VAT directive. Certainly, the new system will lead to abuses of the law, as it will be based on taxpayers' honesty but more frequent controls from the tax office should enhance the observance of the law.
