This article studies the impact of the Anti-Crisis Shield on the running of the limitation period for tax liabilities in Poland. The main purpose of the article is to analyse whether regulations enacted in relation to introducing the state of epidemic in Poland resulted in the suspension of the running of the limitation period for tax liabilities. The Act of 2 March 2020 on special solutions related to preventing, counteracting and combating COVID-19, other infectious diseases and emergencies caused by them directly stipulates that the running of time limits set forth in provisions of administrative law shall be suspended. First of all, arguments for the autonomy of tax law are presented. This allows for the hypothesis that tax law is an autonomous branch of law – separate from administrative law, leading to the conclusion that there are no grounds to assume that the Anti-Crisis Shield suspended the running of the limitation period for tax liabilities. Secondly, the retroactive effect of regulations of the Anti-Crisis Shield is analysed.
