1. The letter from the Polish Ministry of Finance responds to a letter from Ukraine regarding tax residency rules in Poland.
2. Individuals are considered Polish tax residents if they are physically present in Poland for over 183 days or have their center of personal or economic interests in Poland. However, double tax treaties may determine tax residency differently.
3. Non-residents are taxed only on Polish-source income, such as employment, business activities, real estate, capital gains, and more. The Poland-Ukraine double tax treaty provides tie-breaker rules to determine residency if an individual qualifies as a resident in both countries.
The European Court of Justice ruled on an appeal from Nord Stream 2 AG against the General Court's rejection of its action against an EU directive extending gas pipeline regulations. The Court found that the directive directly affects Nord Stream 2 AG's legal situation by subjecting its planned pipeline to EU rules. It set aside parts of the General Court's ruling and referred the case back for a decision on the merits. Specifically, the directive subjects Nord Stream 2 to unbundling and third-party access rules without leaving discretion for exemptions. As the only planned new pipeline, Nord Stream 2 AG has individual concern over the directive's conditions.
