Administrative Courts in 2024: Shorter Wait Times and Key Rulings for Citizens.
In 2024, administrative courts reduced case waiting times, meaning faster resolutions in disputes with public offices. They also issued key rulings that clarify rules on taxing rental properties and takeaway meals, and strengthen citizens' rights against office inaction.
Key points
Shorter wait for a verdict: Cases in voivodeship courts are now resolved in under 5 months on average, and in the Supreme Administrative Court in under 19 months.
Lower property tax for landlords: The court ruled that residential buildings rented out as a business should be taxed at the lower residential rate, not the higher business rate.
Lower VAT on takeaway food: The court confirmed that meals sold in 'drive-in' or 'takeaway' systems should be subject to a 5% VAT rate, not 8%.
Easier to challenge office inaction: A court can fine an office for not forwarding a citizen's complaint, even if the complaint is later deemed inadmissible, strengthening the right to a trial.
