Article 1, Article 2 and Article 84 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland state that there is no obstacle to the placing of sales tax charged only to certain categories of taxpayers, as long as its main objectives will be sufficiently justified by the protection of particular constitutional values. The introduction of sales tax charged only on the supermarkets may be also considered compatible with the provisions of Article 32 of the Constitution provided that it protects constitutional values. From a subjective point of view, large-format stores category does not appear to satisfy the condition required for tax generality by definition. At the moment there isn’t any legal possibility of introducing to the Polish tax system of a turnover tax or any other tax borne solely by supermarkets.
