Amendments to the Act on Local Taxes and Fees

On 27 November 2024, the President of Poland signed the Act dated 19 November 2024, amending the Local Taxes and Fees Act. This legislation introduces significant revisions to the regulations concerning real estate tax and will take effect on 1 January 2025.

The amendment aims, among others, to eliminate interpretative ambiguities by clarifying existing provisions. Notably, it introduces autonomous definitions of buildings and structures into the Act.

These changes are particularly significant for entities submitting tax declarations, as they require a thorough analysis of complex assets. The amendment also provides an option to postpone the real estate tax declaration deadline to 31 March 2025, provided that a written notification is submitted to the relevant tax authority by 31 January 2025.
