CHANGES TO TRANSFER PRICING REGULATIONS AS OF 1 JANUARY 2015
Please note that important changes in transfer pricing regulations are scheduled to become effective on 1 January 2015. Under the new law, the term 'related party' has been extended to cover also unincorporated organisations, such as registered partnerships (spółka jawna), limited liability partnerships and limited partnerships. In addition, the transfer pricing documentation requirements will now apply also to joint venture agreements, partnership agreements and similar agreements between related parties. What is more, such documentation will be required of taxpayers who have permanent establishments abroad. As of 1 January 2015, tax authorities will have power to assess income from transactions with entities based in tax havens if the transaction is considered not to be at arm’s length. The new law will allow the so-called adjustment-by-mail option in cases of transfer pricing income assessments between Polish related parties. This option, which applies in situations where a tax inspection results in additional income being assessed for one party to a transaction, will be available to the other party so that it will on certain conditions be able to apply to have its tax adjusted accordingly. The specific procedures will most likely be introduced under secondary legislation. If this issue pertains to your business and you are interested in our assistance, please let us know.
