On March 31, 2009 new provisions of the Act on Evidence and Identification of Taxpayers and Tax Withholders came into force. The amendment stipulates that decisions on the assignment of tax identification number (NIP) in case of natural persons commencing business activity will be issued within the period of three working days.

Moreover, immediately after assigning a NIP, the heads of the tax offices will be obliged to pass the information to the appropriate court conducting the registry of the business or a municipality.
