Summary/Abstract: The article presents Polish and EU legislation measures as well as research and suggestions of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and the International Monetary Fund concerning the issue of tax havens. On the basis of the abovementioned regulations and recommendations, a thesis has been adopted that there is a pressing need for a coordinated international exchange of tax information. The present legal status and its influence on the use of tax havens are analyzed using the comparative method. The research results confirm the tax institutions’ unwillingness to cooperate. Regardless of the established legal bases and action schemas, information exchange remains very limited. Conclusions on the matter include a list of existing procedures that need revisiting and reimplementation in control institutions of the European Union member states.
