The Act on Personal Income Tax stipulates a number of methods for calculating costs, which unfortunately often leads to disputes between taxpayers and tax authorities. The same also concerns the rules applicable specifically to academic teachers performing their duties under an employment relationship. Problems emerge both in the context of the manner and scope of eligibility for flat-rate 50% tax-deductible expenses. Notably, the interpretative problems stem not only from the provisions of tax law as such. They also emerge in the context of the higher education reform. But even though the observed legal inconsistencies require urgent legislative action, the necessary amendment to the provisions of the Act of 20 July 2018 – Law on Higher Education and Science has yet to be introduced. Nearly two years after the Act’s entry into force, the Minister of Finance finally decided to issue a general interpretation. Therein, it is stated that in terms of the applicability of 50% tax-deductible expenses, the Act of 20 July 2018 – Law on Higher Education and Science constitutes lex specialis, i.e. ultimately, the 50% cost deduction is applicable to the entirety of an academic teacher’s remuneration. The following paper provides a critical analysis of the present regulations as well as possible solutions to the current fiscal and legal stalemate. In the authors’ opinion, the general interpretation by the Minister of Finance fails to substantially amend the quality of the law whose provisions remain largely unclear. At the same time, its practical value for the academia cannot be denied. Undoubtedly, the fact that the same was issued by the direct superior of tax authorities will make this opinion difficult to ignore in the context of individual cases.

The Municipal Charges Act of 12 January 1991 stipulates tax exemptions concerning property tax for universities and other higher education institutions. Nevertheless, the aforementioned Act may exercise the right for tax exemption under certain conditions. The real estate possessed by the university must not be occupied for business activity. Unfortunately, the Municipal Charges Act does not define the phrase – “occupied for business activity”. What is more, for the proper interpretation and practice of the exemption from tax, the regulation of the Business Act and the Law 2.0 should be applied. The dilemma concerning the aforementioned Act was met by the Voivodeship Administrative Court in Gorzów Wielkopolski. The Authors of the gloss on the decision of the Voivodeship Administrative Court in Gorzów Wielkopolski of 20 November 2019, I SA/Go 668/19, agreed with the main trend of the court’s decision, underlining the other way of the argumentation as well.

Ustawa z dnia 12 stycznia 1991 r. o podatkach i opłatach lokalnych przewiduje zwolnienie z opodatkowania nieruchomości należących do uczelni i innych jednostek. Zwolnienia te mają charakter podmiotowy. W każdym z tych przypadków zwolnienie nie dotyczy przedmiotów opodatkowania zajętych na działalność gospodarczą. Niestety ustawa podatkowa nie precyzuje tego pojęcia. Ponadto dla właściwego zastosowania zwolnień konieczne jest uwzględnienie przepisów ustawy Prawo przedsiębiorców oraz ustawy 2.0. Wyłaniające się na tym tle trudności znalazły praktyczne odzwierciedlenie w sporze zawisłym przed Wojewódzkim Sądem Administracyjnym w Gorzowie Wielkopolskim w kontekście przekazania przez uczelnię nieruchomości w posiadanie zależne spółce celowej. W przygotowanej glosie do wyroku z dnia 20 listopada 2019 r., I SA/Go 668/19, w części podzielono tok narracji merytorycznej sądu, przedstawiając jednocześnie odmienną propozycję rozstrzygnięcia problemu.
