Poles are happy to start companies in the Czech Republic, where doing business is cheaper and simpler - said PAP experts. The Czech, Polish and German business rules were discussed at the conference "Taxes without Borders" held in Prague with the participation of Czech, Polish and German tax advisors.
Dr Andrzej Dmowski, attorney, tax advisor, expert in the detection of crime and economic abuses, asked by PAP what can be done in Poland to stop the phenomenon of business moving to the Czech Republic, replied:
- A key element would be to simplify the procedure for tax reporting, i.e. the possibility of submitting all declarations online, which would improve their work and second - the circulation of information in the tax authorities themselves. For foreign investors it is also absolutely incomprehensible, for example, how to settle VAT on purchased fuel.
- Another issue is a specific type of restriction on investment expenditure of companies. In the Czech Republic, there are much smaller restrictions in this area, much greater investment reliefs - investment expenditure in its entirety, can be deducted from the tax base right away, and they do not break down over time through depreciation deductions - says Dmowski.
The expert also stressed that the problem in our country is unpredictability and discretion in relations with tax offices.
