Tax official fired in connection to delayed law

Jarosław Szatański, vice-director of the Department of Income Tax in the Ministry of Finance has lost his job due to the recent tax law delay case. The director's role is being investigated. "Somebody didn't press enter," TVN24 Biz reporter said regarding the delay in publication of the new tax law on multinational enterprises. One of the laws goals was to established controlled foreign company (CFC) provisions. Some regulations should have come into life immediately and the Government Legislation Centre was responsible for delaying publication of the law. Henryk Kowalczyk of Law and Justice (PiS) told TVN24 Biz that the law sat idly for 13 days, when the standard procedure is to publish legislation without delay.
