Tax incentives and exemptions

The Polish tax system provides for numerous tax incentives and exemptions, including those available with regard to carrying out certain types of investments, or conducting research and development activities. Conditions for taking advantage of some incentives and reliefs have recently become more favourable, there are new opportunities for increasing tax effectiveness, such as the so-called IP Box. However, often complicated regulations and the restrictive approach of tax authorities lead to doubts and may discourage potential beneficiaries.
