Poland Company Formation Questions
Why is the residence route rated hard?
The authorities expect the company to show real activity: revenue, employees or investment. A shelf company alone does not qualify.
Can I get the 9% rate in year one?
Yes if you qualify as a small taxpayer; new companies are usually eligible in their first year.
Do I need a Polish accountant?
Yes. Monthly bookkeeping and VAT filings are mandatory, and we include them in our maintenance package.
