Peculiarities of taxation of IT specialists in Poland
Introduction
Poland is becoming an increasingly attractive country for Ukrainian IT specialists due to its favorable conditions for business development and relatively low tax rates. However, as in any other country, the system of taxation of IT specialists in Poland has its own peculiarities, which are important to understand in order to avoid legal problems and optimize tax costs. In this article, we will consider specific examples of solving the problems of our clients from Ukraine, who turned to LLC "Legal Marketplace Consultant" for legal assistance.
Legal analysis of the situation
Our first client, Oleksandr, an IT specialist from Kyiv, decided to move to Poland and found his own startup there. Immediately after his arrival, he faced the issue of correct registration of tax residency and optimization of taxation of his income. A legal analysis of the situation revealed that Oleksandr should register the company in Poland and choose the optimal taxation system.
A legal analysis of the situation involves a thorough study of all aspects of Polish tax legislation that may affect Oleksandr's business. The lawyers of our company have conducted an in-depth analysis of the existing tax regimes, including income tax (CIT), value added tax (VAT) and other possible fees and contributions.
Legal opinion
After a detailed analysis of Oleksandr's situation, the lawyers of our company came to the conclusion that he should choose a taxation system based on income tax (CIT) with the possibility of reducing the tax burden due to the use of tax benefits. This made it possible to significantly reduce the tax costs of his company and ensure the stability of financial flows.
The legal opinion was based on a comparison of different taxation systems available for small businesses in Poland and taking into account the specifics of Oleksandr's activities. The lawyers of our company helped him draw up all the necessary documents for company registration and choose the optimal taxation system.
