- A Polish tax ruling found that compensation paid under a good-neighborly agreement can be subject to VAT.
- The developer paid neighboring property owners in exchange for their promise not to object to the construction or building permit.
- The tax authority treated this as payment for a service: refraining from legal action/tolerating a situation.
- As a result, the compensation was ruled taxable at the standard VAT rate (23% in Poland), not exempt as mere compensation.
