Abstract

The Polish tax system includes a principle whereby the income obtained by a resident in Poland must be accounted for. However, agreements on the avoidance of double taxation to which Poland is a party may exclude this obligation because they constitute lex specialis in relation to the Polish legislation. The question of taxation of seafarers requires an in-depth analysis not only of national legislation, but also that of other states. When determining tax jurisdiction in respect of seamen it is easy to make a mistake owing to the complicated factual state in addition to the legal status. The presented gloss demonstrates difficulty arising when considering this issue.
