Key Taxes and Formalities When Registering a Company in Poland

Corporate Income Tax (CIT):
Standard rate: 19%
Reduced rate: 9% (for small taxpayers and new businesses)
Applies to net profits
We help you determine the best tax strategy and secure the lowest applicable rate.
Value Added Tax (VAT)
Standard rate: 23%

Social Security Contributions (ZUS)

If you employ staff or act as a board member under a service contract, your company must register with ZUS and pay health, pension, and accident contributions.

We manage your ZUS setup, payroll, and monthly declarations.

Relevant for dividends, interest, or service payments to foreign entities. Rates vary, but Easybooks ensures you benefit from double tax treaty relief where available.
