The article discusses how tax authorities and administrative courts differ in their approach to calculation of thin capitalization limit. According to the former, deductibility is limited either by the PLN 3 million threshold or by the 30% EBITDA limit on exceeding borrowing costs. In contrast, courts say that the PLN 3 million threshold should be applied in combination with the 30% EBITDA limit. The article also refers to Finance Ministry’s promise to resolve these controversies when amending the law.
