Tax advisors will re-elect the head of the council due to a procedural error

The Polish Ministry of Finance has raised concerns about the validity of the upcoming re-election of the head of the National Council of Tax Advisors, following a technical voting error.

The Polish Ministry of Finance has issued concerns regarding the legitimacy of the elections for the head of the National Council of Tax Advisors scheduled for January 11, 2026. The minister suspended the previous resolution that appointed Mirosław Michna as head due to a procedural error identified during the voting process. This suspension highlights the importance of procedural accuracy in such elections, impacting the legitimacy of the council that oversees tax advisors in Poland.

In light of these developments, the National Council of Tax Advisors has decided to hold a new election, prompting an extraordinary assembly scheduled for March 19. This assembly will take place online, ensuring greater participation among tax advisors. The urgency of addressing this procedural error reflects the council's responsibility to maintain high standards in its electoral processes, which is crucial for its legitimacy and effectiveness within the tax advisory framework in Poland.

Mirosław Michna has expressed his intention to re-run for the position, reaffirming the trust placed in him by numerous candidates during the initial election. He has indicated that the upcoming assembly might also address statutory amendments aimed at preventing similar issues in future elections. This situation not only affects the internal governance of the tax advisory body but also raises questions about oversight and procedural integrity within such professional organizations in Poland.
