What's new in taxes in Poland starting from 1 Jan 2020?
2020 brings many significant changes for taxpayers and we summarize some of the more important ones below.
ASB Group is a professional outsourcing provider of high-standard services in the areas of accounting, tax advisory, payroll, transaction advisory and corporate services. Having over 17 years´ experience and employing nearly 250 specialists in the CEE region, we are well prepared to deliver the most profitable solutions for your business.
We are experienced in the delivery of outsourced accounting services for international and local businesses. We use modern IT solutions, but, on request, can also work in our clients' accounting software. We can help to localise software and procedures to ensure compliance with domestic tax and accounting regulations. Our professionals regularly submit financial reports for hundreds of international and local clients. We speak to our clients' financial teams across the globe daily.
We have helped hundreds of international companies to set-up their businesses in the countries in which we operate. Company formation is one of many corporate and trust services our clients require to cut costs, ensure compliance with local regulations, and free-up time to focus on their core business activities.
This enables our clients to go for the expense of employing local administrative admin staff, as we take care of the back office and corporate secretarial processes for them.
At ASB we understand that tax and accounting law is interlinked. To safeguard our clients´ interests, we advise taking account of all tax and accounting aspects.
We have extensive experience advising both private individuals and multinational businesses on tax matters, and we cooperate with partner tax firms in countries where ASB does not have offices.
Our payroll clients range from small representative offices through to global multinationals, for whom we process thousands of payslips monthly.
Working with international clients has taught us to use simple language to explain local payroll issues. We have practical experience in importing payroll data from various HR systems and exporting payroll outputs to many customised formats.
ASB has supported many major transactions in our region, on both the buy and the sell side. Our transaction advisory professionals have advised on real estate transactions, mergers and takeovers of local companies, and cross-border investments in local businesses.
We have performed financial and tax due diligence projects for many transaction advisory clients. However, our experience goes beyond the due diligence process, as we often support transaction negotiations and advise clients on purchase price calculations.
Our transfer pricing clients can access to our benchmarking studies, which we have compilated by using the latest technology and several specialised benchmarking databases.
We have advised global hotel chains, international airlines, FMCG companies, and many other international groups with their transfer pricing documentation.

Recent information published by the Ministry of Finance shows how the tax authorities are making use of the General Anti-Avoidance Regulations (GAAR) and provides details of opinions recently issued by the Council for Prevention of Tax Avoidance, which is in Polish Rada do spraw przeciwdziałania unikaniu opodatkowania (“Council”). We note that the Council has been used infrequently to date and has assessed only a handful of complex cases since it was first established in July 2016.
We would like to inform you about changes which arose by e-Submissions coming into force in the Czech Republic in January 2020. Please note that the information below is for PN (incapacitation to work) only, paternity, maternity or family member care remain processed as ever.
