The Supreme Court of Poland overturned lower court decisions imposing a 500% wage surcharge tax on a legal entity that began business in 1990 without hiring any employees. The tax authorities argued that any payments made under contracts for services constituted a 100% overpayment of the average wage norm. The court ruled that the statutory conditions for taxing wage growth were not met because the entity had no employees to establish a baseline norm against which to measure the surcharge.
