Constitutional Tribunal: OK to reduce exposure to tax by any legal means

Earlier, the Supreme Administrative Court (NSA) and the Public Interest Ombudsman had taken the case to the Tribunal claiming that the regulations infringed the constitutional principles of public trust and economic freedom. However, the Tribunal decided that the regulation is not compliant with the constitution because of its arbitrary nature. The Tribunal's decision means that taxpayers may use any legal means of decreasing the amount of tax they must pay. The sentence was welcomed by the Business Center Club. (Rzeczpospolita, p.
