(1)The value of tax liabilities as at December 31st 2008 and December 31st 2007 was reduced by the fuel charge of PLN 20,087 thousand incurred in relation to imported diesel oil. The Parent Undertaking will apply to the relevant customs office for reimbursement of the amount, which in the Company’s opinion is recoverable.
Transactions with related undertakings are described in Note 48.
Trade payables do not bear interest and are, as a rule, settled in 3 to 60 days. Other liabilities do not bear interest, and their average payment period is three months. The amount resulting from the difference between VAT receivable and VAT payable is paid to the relevant tax authorities on a monthly basis. Interest payable is usually settled on a monthly basis throughout a financial year.
Pursuant to Art. 4.1.2. of the Excise Tax Act of January 23rd 2004 (Dz. U. No. 29, item 257, of February 26th 2004), a tax liability arises e.g. at the moment of taking harmonised excise goods out of a bonded warehouse. The Parent Undertaking and some other Group companies operate registered bonded warehouses, in which harmonised excise goods are subject to suspended-excise-tax procedure and may be the object of the actions provided for in the Excise Tax Act.
