Rafał battles tax office over 20% inheritance levy after partner's death

Rafał's husband died five months before Poland recognised their foreign same-sex marriage, leaving Rafał liable for a 20% inheritance tax instead of the spousal exemption. The couple had been together since 1997 — 28 years — but the timing of the death means the relationship was not legally recognised at the moment it mattered. Rafał is now fighting the tax authorities in court, calling the situation "dishonest and humiliating."
