Registering a business – choosing a tax regime

We can help you choose the most favourable tax regime. At present, there are three options for business taxation in Poland:

  • tax calculated in accordance with the standard rules, i.e. using the 12% and 32% tax scales,
  • flat tax 19%,
  • a flat-rate tax on recorded income.

Until 2022, entrepreneurs could also opt for the tax card – this type of taxation is no longer available for new businesses.

Warning! The main form of taxation on income from business activities in our country is tax scale. Therefore, if you do not specify a particular method of income tax assessment, you will be subject to taxation under the general rules.

Help with setting up a business – VAT

As a general rule, VAT deduction is obligatory for all entrepreneurs. It is a charge collected at every stage of the trade of goods and services. The following are subject to VAT: sales of goods and services in Poland, exports and imports of goods, intra-Community acquisitions of goods, and intra-Community supplies of goods. Registration for VAT must be made at least one day before the first transaction is made. This can be done online.

VAT taxpayers are divided into taxable and exempt categories:

  • registered VAT payer – pays VAT,
  • VAT-exempt taxpayer – is eligible for a VAT exemption based on the taxpayer’s status (sales limit of up to PLN 200,000) or the nature of the transaction (sales exempt from VAT under Article 43(1) of the VAT Act).

Although VAT is mandatory for all businesses, there are certain formal criteria that allow certain business activities to be exempt from VAT. Not sure whether you need to register as a VAT payer? At Open Profit, we’ll check this for you when you set up your business, and if necessary, we’ll help you register online.
