New rules for sending official and postal documents in the EU

The act changes the rules for calculating deadlines in tax, administrative and court cases. From now on, documents sent at post offices in EU countries, Switzerland and EFTA will be treated the same as those sent in Poland. Additionally, new rules for interest on tax overpayments have been introduced.
Key points
Documents sent at post offices in the EU, Switzerland or EFTA will be equivalent to those sent in Poland – easier official communication for people staying abroad.
New rule: interest on tax overpayments counts from the day they arise, not from the day of submitting the application – faster money refunds for taxpayers.
Changes concern the Tax Ordinance, Administrative Procedure Code, Civil Procedure Code and other acts – uniform rules in many areas of law.
New rules for delivering postal items: 14 days for collection, two notifications – greater certainty that correspondence will reach the addressee.
