2 June 2017
Przemysław POWIERZA
This year's amendments to the Penal and Fiscal Code (PFC) and the Penal Code (PC), related to the offences against reliability of documents, have had wide repercussions among people involved in keeping the books of accounts. What is it all about? Well, since 1 January 2017, sanctions for inaccurate issuance of an invoice or a bill or for using such documents have been strengthened (Art. 62 §2 of the PFC). Currently, this act is punishable with a fine up to 720 daily rates and imprisonment for the period no shorter than one year.
