Abstract: The rules of taxation of revenues or income from covered bonds issued in Poland may become a significant barrier to the demand for this category of debt securities and, as a result, considerably limit the capabilities of mortgage banks to grant long-term loans for investment purposes. The present study has analysed and assessed the legislation in force in Poland regarding the scope and methods of taxation of interest and discount on covered bonds as a form of revenue or income earned by their holders. The aim of the study is to present various methods of taxation of these revenues or income, determined by the legal status of taxpayers. The thesis verified herein assumes the excessive privileging of non-residents with revenues or income from covered bonds, leading to unequal treatment of the taxpayers who are Polish tax residents. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that the legislator has led to a situation where corporate income tax payers are treated more favourably than personal income tax payers as regards the taxation of interest and discount on covered bonds. The formulated de lege ferenda postulates are intended to significantly reduce these differences in the taxation of revenues or income obtained from the same source. The study uses the legal-dogmatic method and, additionally, the analytical method.
