Summary/Abstract: The author of the article points to the erroneous practice of administrative courts, according to which they do not examine the initiation of criminal fiscal proceedings by tax authorities in order to merely suspend the limitation period pursuant to art. 70 § 6 item 1 of the Tax Ordinance Act (abuse of rights). Such action is incompatible with the constitutional and EU right to court, as well as the rule of law and the principles derived from them: legality, legal certainty and the right to good administration. Consequently, the abandonment of such judicial review leads to a violation of the taxpayer’s property right.
