Sejm for in dubio pro tributario rule

On Friday, Sejm passed 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 amendment was created based on projects drafted by President Bronisław Komorowski and the Senate, the lower house of the parliament. If the president signs the new law (which is very likely to happen), it will come into force with the beginning of next year. As many as 202 MPs voted against the amendment (198 of them were members of the ruling party, Civic Platform), 2 abstained. The question regarding the matter which will appear in September's referendum still makes sense, because if Poles vote against it, it will be necessary to rewrite the law, professor Marek Chmaj told tvn24bis.pl.
