On 16 October 2018, a meeting concerning the subject of tax inspection and penal risks related to VAT took place. The meeting was part of the CFO-Forum that is organised by the Polish-Swiss Chamber of Commerce on a regular basis.

The meeting was held by Mr Piotr R. Graczyk from RGW Law Firm and Dominika Cabaj who is a tax adviser.

2. the course of inspection carried out by tax authorities – a case study based on the inspection carried out by the Head of Mazovian Tax Office and other inspections
3. practical advice on inspection carried out by tax authorities
4. principles of liability in the event of committing tax offences related to unreliable issuance of invoices
5. liability resulting from the Criminal Code in the event of unreliable issuance of invoices – new types of offences.
