Kontrola skarbowa w pierwszych latach Polski międzywojennej
Fiscal control in the first years of interwar Poland

Summary/Abstract: On 24th June 1925, the Minister of Treasury issued an ordinance on the organization of fiscal control. It entered into force on 1st September 1925 on the area of the treasury offices in Grudziądz, Poznań, Cracow and Lviv, as well as in Upper Silesia, and on 1st January 1926 — on the territory of the treasury offices in Białystok, Brześć, Kielce, Lublin, Łódź, Łuck, Warsaw and Vilnius. At the same time, the ordinance abolished the Treasury Guard Regulation [Przepis dla straży skarbowej] of 19th March 1907, which had been in force in the territory of the former Austrian partition, as well as the “regulations and ordinances” in force in other districts. Earlier, by the ordinance of 21st January 1920, the Minister of Treasury had ordered that the executive bodies established to oversee state income by means of indirect taxes (excise duties) and monopolies on the territory of the former Russian partition and in Malopolska region should be called “fiscal control”. The powers of the said bodies and of the executive bodies, excise and state monopoly provided for in tax offices (created under the Act of 31st July 1919 on the temporary organisation of tax authorities and offices and the implementive ordinance issued on its basis) were united by the Act of 14th December 1923 on the powers of the executive tax authorities and the implementive ordinance issued on its basis. These were subsumed under the common name ‘fiscal control’.
