Hi all!,
My wife recently received information that she will have a tax inspection for the few years she ran a company in Poland (2010-2011). The wife is worried that they will find something amiss, namely a few small translation projects we didn't declare.
So fair enough, we will pay any tax owed but is there a fine associated with this also? My wife said the fine could be as high as 5000pln which doesn't quite sound right to me as the amount of unpaid tax would be in the few hundreds at most.
I don't live in Poland any longer and work full time in Saudi but the missus still does, I have all of my hard earned money transferred to my Polish account. It is my sole individual account but is it possible that the tax authorities in Poland could block or take the amount from my account if the wife doesn't speedily cough up whatever is owed? It would be really problematic for me if I can't withdraw cash whilst I am in the mid-east and I have never had the foresight to set up a proper Saudi account. I am assuming I will get some kind of notice that this is about to happen or maybe even a demand for payment first? rather than the authorities just dipping into my bank account?
What are people's thoughts on this? What kind of fine is my wife in for (assuming they find something) and will it affect my account?
