Tax arrears will prevent successful participation in the public procurement procedures. It is clear that a tenderer with tax arrears must be excluded from the public procurement procedure and that no contract can be made with a tenderer with tax arrears.

The issues concerning how to understand and to apply the rules on evidencing and verifying the absence of tax arrears have not been resolved by the amendments to public procurement law made in 2011.

During the Breakfast Seminar, we will go through the main obligations, rights and possibilities of the contracting authority and the tenderer involving tax arrears, including:

- what are tax arrears; what is relevant certificate;
- in which cases such certificates must be presented to the contracting authority;
- at what time the tax arrears must be checked;
- how to avoid exclusion from the tendering process.
