The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the extraordinary review against a town council's decision to exempt agricultural buildings from property tax. The Council argued for economic revitalization and environmental protection, while the Governor claimed the exemption violated the universality of tax obligations. The Court ruled that local tax policy serves broader economic goals beyond mere revenue generation, making the exemption lawful.
