We are looking at changes that are important for doing business in Poland, and one the most important is the modification of corporate income tax. At this point, the Council of Ministers adopted a draft law on changes in CIT.
Amendment of the CT Act 29 October 2021, In force since the beginning of this year, there are many legal gaps, as well as disadvantages. MF corrects errors by introducing another amendment, which has already been adopted by the Sejm. The draft amendments were first suspended for years 2022-2023 the entry into force of the new levy, i.e.
minimum tax on, inter alia, tax capital groups. The provisions on the so-called ‘hidden dividend’, i.e.
the catalogue of payments not related to economic activity, including transactions of a non-market nature, the debts of the taxpayer of different titles to the group entities, or the use by the company of the assets of its shareholder, previously withdrawn from that company, were also repealed.
According to the entrepreneurs, these provisions at various points duplicated or conflicted with tax law on transfer pricing. Positive changes include, among other things, the elimination of the obligation to submit an annex when using "bad debt relief".
It is not difficult to see a certain correctness, which we already know quite well, is the creation of a law that is loudly introduced and presented as an improvement, after which many times changing it, because, as it turns out, its creators seem to have a problem with the holistic approach.
You can get the impression that each paragraph is created by other people, perhaps students who often know little about doing business.
In this issue, we devote a lot of attention to various aspects of running companies, thanks to the series of articles on company law that creates Konstancja Sawecka, Legal advisor, graduate of the Postgraduate Study of the Law of Companies at the Faculty of Law and Administration of the University of Warsaw.
