Regulations concerning corporate income tax, personal income tax, value added tax and contributions to social security undergo relatively frequent changes. The current regulations contain ambiguities which result in a difference in opinions regarding their legal interpretation, both among various State authorities as well as between these authorities and enterprises. Tax and other settlements (e.g. regarding customs duty or foreign currency settlements) may be controlled by authorities authorized to impose high penalties, and additional liability amounts recognized during are to be paid with high interest. As a result, the level of tax risk in Poland, the Baltic states and Ukraine exceeds that of countries with more developed tax systems. In Poland tax returns are subject to control over a period of five years. Consequently, the amounts presented in consolidated financial statements may change at a later date, after they have been finally assessed by tax authorities.
