Tax Compliance and Risk Management: Perspectives from Central and Eastern Europe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781032597348)

Piotr Karwat, PhD, is a lecturer/assistant professor at the SGH Warsaw School of Economics, Collegium of Business Administration, Department of Administrative and Financial Corporate Law. His research and academic interests focus primarily on taxation in the business context, taking into account the economic and legal conditions and consequences of taxation. He received the degree of Doctor of Laws, with a dissertation on tax avoidance ("Tax avoidance - the essence and ways of counteracting this phenomenon"). This issue, and especially the relationship between anti-avoidance regulations and other anti-abuse norms (e.g. transfer pricing), is still in the sphere of his interests, as evidenced by his latest publications. Regardless of this, his research now focuses on the indirect tax system, particularly in the context of international trade, which is reflected both in his publications and in the academic sphere. Many years of professional practice in the field of tax consultancy (as part of his work as a legal adviser) has also given him an opportunity to observe the practical (economic) effects of public levies on the activity of enterprises.
