Best Practices in Real Estate Cross-border Transactions

100%
PL
The article presents reflections on the best practices in real estate cross border transactions.Transactions on real estate markets have several aspects that make them highly complex, mostly due to their individual nature – each property is unique in terms of its location, structure and history. Cross-border transactions on the real estate market are becoming increasingly popular as the world becomes more globalized. The growing volume of this type of transaction presents a challenge for the modern real estate lawyer. It is impossible to create an exhaustive guide setting out all the hazards occurring in such transactions. This article addresses this difficult challenge by indicating the most important of them.It is essential and extremely helpful to enter into cooperation with a local counsel who will help us to explain the local specificity and who will take the legal differences into account. In addition, other helpful tools, such as a legal due diligence report or a title insurance Policy, should be carefully considered. One cannot forget about the importance of the local culture and customs, which may prove decisive at the crucial moment of the transaction. Finally, to be effective in working with cross-border clients, lawyers must have a good understanding of how people think and make decisions, and must possess good people skills. Respect for local customs and traditions, as well as understanding the local legal system while securing clients’ interests, is the key to a successful transaction.

Non-governmental organizations, although by their nature are not profit-oriented, and their public benefit activities, as a rule, do not constitute economic activity within the meaning of the provisions of the Law on Entrepreneurs, may be subject to tax in connection with this activity, in the field of value added tax (VAT). This applies in particular to the settlement of VAT on cross-border transactions. The related obligations may be particularly burdensome for non-governmental organizations due to their often unprofessional, voluntaristic nature. In this context, a fundamental question also arises: to what extent these organizations, in view of the aforementioned non-profit-orientation, may (should?) be subject to some preferential treatment compared to „ordinary” profitoriented entities, and to what extent – in view of the need i.a. to ensure equal competition on the market (and to comply with tax rules such as m.in payment capacity, universality of taxation or equality) this should not be the case? Selected problem issues related to the conduct of public benefit activities by non-governmental organizations in the context of VAT settlements, which are the subject of analysis in this and the previous text5, are to contribute to further discussion on the specificity and regulation of public benefit activities in the Polish legal system, in particular in the context of tax law.

Organizacje pozarządowe1, mimo że z istoty swojej nie są nastawione na zysk, a ich działalność pożytku publicznego co do zasady nie stanowi działalności gospodarczej w rozumieniu przepisów ustawy z dnia 6 marca 2018 r. – Prawo przedsiębiorców2, mogą podlegać w związku z tą działalnością obowiązkowi podatkowemu w zakresie podatku od towarów i usług3. Dotyczy to w szczególności rozliczania VAT z tytułu transakcji transgranicznych. Związane z tym obowiązki mogą być dla organizacji pozarządowych szczególnie uciążliwe z uwagi na często właśnie ich nieprofesjonalny, wolontariacki charakter. Pojawia się też w tym kontekście fundamentalne pytanie, w jakim stopniu te organizacje – wobec wspomnianego nienastawiania na zysk – mogą (powinny?) podlegać pewnemu preferencyjnemu traktowaniu względem „zwykłych” nastawionych na zysk podmiotów, a w jakim stopniu – wobec konieczności m.in. zapewnienia równej konkurencji na rynku (oraz przestrzegania takich zasad podatkowych, jak m.in. zdolność płatnicza, powszechność opodatkowania czy równość) – nie powinno to mieć miejsca. Wybrane zagadnienia problemowe dotyczące prowadzenia działalności pożytku publicznego przez organizacje pozarządowe w kontekście rozliczeń VAT, stanowiące przedmiot analizy w niniejszym i wcześniejszym artykule4, mają stanowić przyczynek do dalszej dyskusji o specyfice i uregulowaniu działalności pożytku publicznego w polskim systemie prawa, w tym w szczególności w kontekście prawnopodatkowym.
