During the Senate meeting, no amendments were made to the law on compensation of income lost by municipalities in 2018 due to the change in the scope of taxation of wind farms. The repayment of funds is to cover about 200 municipalities where wind farms are located.
This act is the result of the ruling of the Constitutional Tribunal of 22 July 2020, according to which the compensation will be granted to municipalities which, as a result of the change in regulations, lost their income in the form of property tax paid on wind farms in 2018.
According to the regulatory impact assessment, the cost of compensation amounts to PLN 524.43 million. The new regulations will enter into force on February 5, 2022 and the disbursements will start in the same year.
