Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to determine whether tax authorities were entitled to recharacterise and omit legal transactions made by taxpayers in the legal state before 1 January 2019. In particular, the article concerns the examination whether the legal basis in this respect could be derived from the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations. The authors come to the conclusion that there was no legal basis for type of action due to Article 11(1) of the Corporate Income Tax Act and lack of possibility to refer to the OECD Guidelines. It is a non-binding document and does not constitute a source of law generally applicable in Poland.
