On September 29, 2016 the European Commission published its September infringements' package: key decisions. One of the key decisions is the decision of the European Commission to request Poland to fully transpose Council Directive 2014/107/EU of 9 December 2014 amending Directive 2011/16/EU as regards mandatory automatic exchange of information in the field of taxation into Polish national law.

This Directive, which amends Directive 2011/16/EU on mandatory automatic exchange of information between national tax authorities, aims at strengthening administrative cooperation between Member States to better combat tax evasion and tax fraud. Member States were required to transpose these rules by January 1, 2016.

According to the European Commission, Poland has not yet informed the Commission of all the necessary measures to fully transpose the Directive into national law. The European Commission adds that in the absence of a satisfactory response within two months, the Commission may refer Poland to the Court of Justice of the EU.
