In this series, we will present employer’s obligations resulting from the employment of a non-Polish national. We are going to discuss foreigner’s arrival and stay, employment, as well as tax and insurance obligations involved in this employment. This way, showing you that hiring foreigners in Poland is by no means an uphill struggle, we will make you familiar with procedures and formal requirements that simply must be observed.
We have already written a lot, both here and in national journals, about the importance of audit services, their meaning for businesses, the cooperation of management boards or supervisory bodies with auditors, and the qualities of a good auditor. Now it is time to say something about how this auditor (a statutory auditor or an audit firm) should be chosen.
Can an employer receive remuneration from the Tax Office or Social Insurance Company [ZUS] for the taxes and social insurance benefits that the employer has paid?

In early October 2018, the Economic and Financial Affairs Council of the EU adopted draft legislation introducing temporary solutions for settling cross-border transactions (known as “quick fixes”) for VAT purposes. They are supposed to be applied as of 1 January 2020 and stay in force until a new definitive VAT system has been adopted.

More than a year has passed since the introduction of revolutionary changes in preparing and submitting annual financial statements. Today, as many companies registered in the NCR (in particular those where foreigners participate) continue to have arrears in submitting their annual financial statements, we would like to take a closer look at the weapons used by registry courts to enforce reporting obligations.
In previous posts, we presented a handful of basic information that may be useful for foreign investors planning to start their business in Poland. Undoubtedly, a crucial thing here is the the choice of the legal form of such business, as we discussed e.g.: here.

This, in turn, involves an entire range of additional obligations for the employer, such as occupational health and safety, personal income tax and social insurance.
Transfer pricing is no longer a purely theoretical issue, but a factor to be taken into account on a daily basis in transactions with related entities.
