Summary/Abstract: The article deals with solutions adopted in the new bilateral tax treaty between Poland and Georgia concluded on July 7, 2021, which will replace the tax treaty of November 5, 1999. This agreement, in accordance with the will of both contracting states, was not considered as a Covered-Tax-Agreement within the meaning of the provisions of the Multilateral Convention implementing tax treaty related measures to prevent base erosion and profit shifting. Therefore, the introduction of anti-abusive clauses and solutions to improve dispute resolution had to be carried out through bilateral negotiations. The author analyzes the impact of the MLI, but also the impact of the OECD and UN Models on the shape of the solutions adopted therein and their significance for the future of Polish treaty practice.
