Environmental issues are becoming more and more important in today's world. There is a growing awareness of the impact that humans have on the environment through their activities. With the increase in this awareness, there are also new regulations and changes to the existing regulations, which are designed to organize and minimize the negative impact of the economy on the ecosystem.
We have observed that in recent years the checks of inspection authorities more and more often affect enterprises from the area of distribution or marketing which do not conduct production activities and therefore are often unaware of their reporting and financial obligations.
Statistical data indicate that in the period from 2018 to 2020, the amounts of fines imposed in the course of inspection authorities checks, increased by about 50%, which is a clear signal indicating the current direction of activities of Polish environmental authorities.
Managing the issues related to environmental regulations is therefore one of the most important challenges entrepreneurs are facing nowadays.

Water services fees
Who does the obligation apply to?
The fee obligation results directly from Art. 268 and 269 of the Water Law Act, according to which fees for water services are paid, among others, for:
- abstraction of groundwater or surface water;
- discharge of sewage into waters or into the ground;
- discharge into:
- rainwater or meltwater, included in open or closed rainwater drainage systems for the discharge of precipitation or collective sewage systems within the administrative boundaries of cities,
- waters from land drainage within the administrative boundaries of cities;
- reduction of natural land retention as a result of carrying out works or construction structures permanently connected to the ground on a property with an area of more than 3,500 m2, which reduces this retention by excluding more than 70% of the property's surface from the biologically active area in areas not covered by open or closed sewage systems.
Fees may take the form of:
- fixed/annual - calculated ex officio based on the information contained in the water law permit,
- variable - calculated by the authority on the basis of quarterly reports/declarations of the entity.
Date and place of submission
The entity that pays the variable fee for water services should submit a declaration on the scope of water use by the end of the month following the end of the quarter. In response, the authority will specify the amount and the date of payment in the form of written information. The same information will be provided to the entity obliged to pay the fee for water services in a fixed form.
The authority competent to calculate fees for water services is, depending on the method of water use, the Director of the Catchment Board or, in the case of a fee for reducing natural retention - the commune head, mayor or president of the city.
