Pretekstem do utworzenia Stowarzyszenia PINK było kwestionowania zwrotów VAT od roku 2016 (kilkanaście zakwestionowanych transakcji dot. ponad milion VAT) . W wyniku działań miedzy innymi Stowarzyszenia PINK (korespondencja, spotkania, raport) Ministerstwo Finansów wystosowało pismo, po którym zaniechano kwestionowania transakcji . Od 2018 roku zajęliśmy się szeroko innymi tematami legislacyjnymi.
ABOUT US
The commercial real estate industry is an important branch of the economy, with assets worth PLN 250 billion. So far, the industry has not had a representation that would bring together all market sectors in one organization.
In response to this situation, the PINK Association was established, which enables the associated entities to have a real impact on the surrounding environment.
Our members are developers, investors, asset managers, lawyers and other advisers.
