Abstract
This article concerns the principle of in dubio pro tributario in tax law (Article 2a of the Tax Ordinance). The legal provision regulates the resolution of doubts in favour of the taxpayer. The scope of application of the principle has been narrowed to doubts about the content of tax law provisions that cannot be removed. The article is divided into five main parts: an introduction, three chapters and a conclusion. Chapter I covers the genesis normative basis of the in dubio pro tributario principle. The author briefly indicates there that the principle has a longer history, but focuses on the history of the principle in the Polish legal system. In Chapter II there are analysis of the content of the provision, in order to obtain the fullest possible knowledge on the application of the regulated principle. The views of doctrine are juxtaposed there and the issues of application of the principle are indicated. Chapter III is a juxtaposition of art. 2a Tax Ordinance with the general principles of tax proceedings selected by the Author and the notion of tax justice. The author's opinion is revealed in the conclusion, where she also determines how the discussed regulation should be applied. This may be the case when, after linguistic, systemic and functional interpretation only, doubts remain as to the content of tax law provisions. The principle is a postulate for reliable establishment and application of tax law. The study uses a dogmatic and legal research method and analysis of the literature on the subject.
期刊介绍:
In legislation and in case law, European law has become a steadily more dominant factor in determining national European company laws. The “European Company”, the forthcoming “European Private Company” as well as the Regulation on the Application of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS Regulation”) have accelerated this development even more. The discussion, however, is still mired in individual nations. This is true for the academic field and – even still – for many practitioners. The journal intends to overcome this handicap by sparking a debate across Europe on drafting and application of European company law. It integrates the European company law component previously published as part of the Zeitschrift für Unternehmens- und Gesellschaftsrecht (ZGR), on of the leading German law reviews specialized in the field of company and capital market law. It aims at universities, law makers on both the European and national levels, courts, lawyers, banks and other financial service institutions, in house counsels, accountants and notaries who draft or work with European company law. The journal focuses on all areas of European company law and the financing of companies and business entities. This includes the law of capital markets as well as the law of accounting and auditing and company law related issues of insolvency law. Finally it serves as a platform for the discussion of theoretical questions such as the economic analysis of company law. It consists of articles and case notes on both decisions of the European courts as well as of national courts insofar as they have implications on European company law.
