Legislator summary

The Supreme Court quashed the tax authority's decision to tax US lottery winnings, overturning the lower court's reliance solely on a 1989 departure letter. The taxpayer argued that maintaining a permanent residence in Poland, owning property, and paying local taxes proved continuous residency despite living in the US. The court held that the departure letter was merely a notification and did not legally establish a change of residence, emphasizing that actual intent and factual circumstances must be considered.
