The Great War on the small screen: televisual narratives of the First World War.
No full textIn Britain since the 1960s television has been the site where the Western Front of popular culture has clashed with the Western Front of history. This talk will examine the ways in which those involved in the production of historical documentaries for this most influential media have struggled to communicate the stories of the First World War to British audiences. From the landmark epic series The Great War (BBC, 1964) up to more recent controversial productions such as The Trench (BBC, 2002) and Not Forgotten: The Men Who Wouldn't Fight (BBC, 2008), Emma Hanna will give an overview of the production, broadcast and reception of a number of British television documentaries to examine the difficult relationship between the war's history and its popular memory.

O dyskrecjonalnej władzy zarządzania procedurami podatkowymi
No full textThe article aims to analyse the discretion given to tax authorities in managing tax procedures – to describe it and postulate how it should be regulated by law and exercised in practice. In the study, the dogmatic method was used; in particular, a case of discretion in initiating a customs and tax audit was studied. It is demonstrated that this type of discretion is vast and multiform; it is also only weakly determined by law. It manifests itself in, among other things, the authority to decide tax cases by taking account of the odds of winning the case before the court. Assessment of the odds may lead, and in fact often indeed leads, to a tax authority settling the case informally with a party to a proceeding (a taxpayer) instead of pursuing it in court. For the most part, discretion in managing tax procedures has escaped the attention of the Polish legislator. This discretion should be analysed by legal scholarship and subjected to legal regulation. This will make its exercise more transparent and controllable.Celem artykułu jest analiza przysługującej organom podatkowym dyskrecjonalnej władzy zarządzania procedurami podatkowymi – jej scharakteryzowanie i sformułowanie postulatów dotyczących jej prawnej regulacji i praktycznego wykorzystania. W badaniu zastosowano metodę dogmatycznoprawną; w szczególności przeprowadzono studium przypadku: dyskrecjonalności wszczęcia kontroli celno-skarbowej. Jak wykazano, dyskrecjonalność tego typu jest rozległa i wielopostaciowa, jest też słabo prawnie zdeterminowana. Jednym z jej przejawów jest swoboda uwzględniania w rozstrzyganiu spraw podatkowych szans na wygraną w sporze sądowym ze stroną postępowania. Ocena takich szans może prowadzić (i często rzeczywiście prowadzi) do zawarcia przez organ podatkowy ze stroną postępowania (podatnikiem) nieformalnej ugody procesowej w miejsce dalszego prowadzenia sporu. Większość przejawów dyskrecjonalności w zarządzaniu procedurami podatkowymi uchodzi uwagi polskiego ustawodawcy. Dyskrecjonalność ta powinna zostać poddana doktrynalnej analizie i prawnej regulacji. Zapewni to większą przejrzystość i kontrolowalność sposobu jej wykorzystania
Fabeln
No full textThis 112-page book has a list of fabulists and a list of illustrations on its last page. The choice of representatives in this anthology puts stress on ancients, La Fontaine, Bidpai, and Germans. All the selections here are in prose. The style of illustration that Forster employs is simple. There is a short essay at the end: Allgemeines zu Fabel. The print in this essay is so small that it tests one's eyes! There are very good fables among this collection, starting with the very first, Lessing's Der alte Löwe (5). I miss, however, some organization, whether by subject or era or author. Other worthy fables I have noticed here in the first third include Pfeffel's Das Glühwürmchen und die Kröte (6); Meissner's Der schwörende Wolf (27); Langbein's Der Igel und der Hase (32); and Gleim's Der Löwe und der Fuchs (36). This book prints the US military government's permission to publish. Actually, it is a surprise to see a fable book published in Germany in 1946!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: GermanFirst editionAusgewählt und illustriert von Hanna Forste
The criterion of purpose for which an expense was incurred and tax deductible costs – normative content and anti-abusive implications (a discussion)
No full textThe article argues that under Article 15 Section 1 of the Act of 15 February 1992 on corporate income tax an expense (cost) can be tax deductible only if it meets the criterion of purpose, understood subjectively, i.e. such that obtaining tax revenues or conserving or securing their source was a primary (non-instrumental) purpose of a taxpayer who incurred the expense (cost). This condition is not fulfilled for expenses (costs) incurred with the aim of making tax losses. Consequently, in some cases the application of the provision, by refusal to qualify an expense (cost) as tax deductible, may thwart the taxpayer’s attempt to avoid taxation.W świetle art. 15 ust. 1 Ustawy z dnia 15 lutego 1992 r. o podatku dochodowym od osób prawnych kosztem uzyskania przychodów może być tylko wydatek (koszt) spełniający przesłankę celu w ujęciu subiektywnym: taki, że osiągnięcie przychodów podatkowych lub zachowanie albo zabezpieczenie jego źródła było samoistnym (nieinstrumentalnym) celem podatnika, który wydatek (koszt) ten poniósł. Warunek ten nie jest spełniony w przypadku wydatków (kosztów) dokonanych w celu poniesienia straty podatkowej. W konsekwencji zastosowanie przepisu polegające na odmowie uznania wydatku (kosztu) za koszt uzyskania przychodów w niektórych przypadkach może udaremnić podjętą przez podatnika próbę unikania opodatkowania
