On 14 January 2021, Piotr Kryczek, CDZ Partner, was a speaker during a session of two joint Senate commissions: of Culture and Media, and of Human Rights, Rule of Law and Petitions during which the issues of deconcentration and the so-called repolonization of mass media in Poland were discussed.

Piotr Kryczek presented a report on planned changes to the Polish media market, compiled in collaboration with Marcin Karolak of CDZ.

Participants of the Senate session discussed possible directions in which the Polish media market, including the press, will move forward and the consequences of the takeover of Polska Press publishers by Orlen SA. Some speakers talked about threats to the freedom of media and pluralism of opinions resulting from ownership changes in Russia and Hungary.

CDZ collaborates with FIRST PR on participation in such events.

Projekt zmian w ustawie o podatku dochodowym od osób prawnych (CIT)

Submitted by lsadowski on Sun, 09/03/2017 - 21:00

Deklarowanym celem nowelizacji jest dostosowanie polskich przepisów do dyrektywy Rady (UE) w sprawie przeciwdziałania unikaniu opodatkowania oraz dążenie do uszczelnienia systemu podatku dochodowego od osób prawnych poprzez powiązanie wysokości płaconego podatku (w szczególności przez duże przedsiębiorstwa) z faktycznym miejscem uzyskiwania dochodu. Projekt jest obecnie na etapie uzgodnień oraz konsultacji z organizacjami zrzeszającymi przedsiębiorców. Zakładaną datą wejścia w życie nowych przepisów jest 1 stycznia 2018 roku.
