“The Tax Office has knowledge of your business activity. You should register your business and fulfill your tax obligations” – this is how letters that the tax authorities have recently been sending to some people begin, wyborcza.biz reports.

A single sale is not an object of interest for the tax authorities.

Before responding to such a letter, it is worth consulting a tax adviser.
