Despite numerous protests and declarations from online traders that they will move abroad to avoid the tax burden of the trade tax, our government also wants to reach into the pockets of such companies by taxing courier companies. In a situation where the market tax does not regulate the online store, it will have to be paid by shipping companies – he notes "Dziennik Gazeta Prawna".
According to Faliński, the project denies the idea that the government was in favour of compromise with traders to be negotiated in consultation with 8 January b.r.
The flat-rate tax rate for transport companies will be 50 PLN, unless the company receives a certificate from the customer ordering the shipment, that it will regulate such a burden – we can read it in an article that sets out the main assumptions of the trade tax bill.
According to Article 12 The draft bill, to which the journal, the online store moved abroad and from there conducting sales to Poland, will have to provide the carrier with a declaration on each such transaction that the trade tax has been paid, the store uses the exemption or that the shipment is not related to retail sales. If he does not, the carrier will be obliged to pay the tax.
The paper notes that the bill is criticized by traders who "point out that it requires changes in almost all aspects". According to the Director-General of the Polish Trade and Distribution Organisation, Marian Faliński, who announced an increase in his efforts to modify the project within the parliamentary Group on Entrepreneurship and Economic Patriotism.
In Faliński’s view, the proposal undermined the government’s plan to reach a compromise with traders during consultations on 8 January.
