Poland has launched the Register of Public Law Dues, designed to track financial liabilities of individuals and corporate entities. The registry became operational in the second half of 2018.
Purpose and Scope
The system aims to provide transparency for business partners and creditors by displaying debts subject to administrative enforcement. This includes obligations owed to tax offices, government units, and other authorities.
Eligibility Requirements
Only debts exceeding PLN 5,000 (approximately €1,200) qualify for inclusion, with associated interest factored into calculations.
Data Included
The registry captures:
- Debtor information (name, identification numbers, tax ID)
- Creditor details
- Amount owed and pending interest
- Debt classification and legal basis
Access and Transparency
Data will be available – with certain data protection and procedural safeguards – to any interested person. The registry operates similarly to standard corporate searches, enhancing creditor protections and strengthening business transaction security.
