Abstract

This article discusses the practical problems arising from the application of regulations requiring the perpetrator of a tax offence or misdemeanour to pay Polish public law liabilities caused by his commission of a prohibited act. First, the article considers the amount of the outstanding liability he is required to pay, specifically whether it includes statutory interest. Next, it goes on to a discussion of the impact of an offender’s obligation to pay public law liabilities on the consensual conclusion of proceedings, i.e. his voluntary submission to punishment and conviction without court proceedings. The following section addresses the subjective and objective complications associated with an offender’s obligation to pay public law liabilities due to his commission of a prohibited act. The article concludes with my own proposal of a solution to these problems.
