Protection of historic properties is a public task which in Poland is performed by state bodies and local authorities. It consists in, inter alia, provision of legal, organisational and financial conditions which allow for long-term protection, restoration, utilisation and maintenance of heritage buildings. Provision of tax preferences towards historic properties is an important financial incentive for entities engaged in historic preservation and operating outside the public finance sector (in particular non-governmental organisations and natural persons). To determine the nature and scope of the tax preference, a systemic analysis of the Act on protection and maintenance of historical monuments and the Act on taxes and local fees is required. To ascertain the fundamentals and the scope of the regulatory law regarding heritage property tax exemption, as well as the way in which the legal regulations have developed, the tax legislation and judicial practice were analysed and the reference literature was reviewed with the application of the dogmatic-legal and empirical methods. The hypothesis on the conditional nature of the tax exemption was proven to be correct. Concurrently, it was shown that the fulfilment of statutory tax exemption conditions makes the taxpayer eligible for the tax incentive regardless of his/her legal status and involvement in other activities.

Local government units and their unions as income earning legal entities are subject to the provisions of the Act on corporate income tax. Being subject to income tax law translates also to the opportunity of benefiting from tax privileges established by the law. The establishment and application of tax preferences on income of local government units and their unions is an important instrument in supporting their efforts to perform important – in social and economic terms – public tasks. Tax privileges also serve an important protective function with regard to the public funds being managed by local government units and their unions. To ascertain the fundamentals and the scope of the regulatory law regarding subjective and objective tax exemptions addressed to local government units and their unions, as well as the way in which these regulations evolve, the tax legislation and judicial practice were analysed and the reference literature was reviewed with the application of the dogmatic-legal and empirical methods. The hypothesis on the conditional nature of tax exemption and the need for strict interpretation thereof was proven to be correct. The inability to apply such exemptions in metropolitan unions, which can be interpreted as discriminatory, was evaluated critically. Moreover, it has been proven that the provision of statutory income tax exemption thresholds to local government units and their unions is an overly complicated process since the Act income tax incorporates references to the provisions of the Act on the income of local government units which do not conclusively determine the revenue sources of these entities.

The paper presents an analysis of Russian legal practice on dissemination of unreliable socially significant information on the Internet. Based on the study of regulatory, law enforcement and linguistic sources, the author provides a legal assessment to information reliability characteristic, delimits it from related phenomena, and formulates the conditions for the realization of a legitimate interest in obtaining reliable information. Particular attention is given to an analysis of cases of bringing citizens to administrative responsibility for the dissemination of deliberately unreliable socially significant information on the Internet. The author concludes that the presumptions of unreliability of digital messages and their threat to public order and safety are widely spread in judicial practice. It is noted that unreliable socially significant information is interpreted in practice through the prism of information that does not correspond to reality, and the burden of proving the truth of messages published on the Internet is, as a rule, on their distributors.
