Your first year in business in Poland: a tax calendar

The Polish tax year runs on a rhythm of monthly and annual obligations. Missing them is where new businesses most often run into penalties — so it helps to see the whole calendar at once.

Every month (or quarter)

• ZUS contributions — paid by the 20th of the following month for most entrepreneurs.
• Income-tax advance (PIT or CIT) — calculated on your running result and paid by the 20th.
• VAT — the JPK_V7 file and any payment are due by the 25th, monthly or quarterly depending on your status.

Around the year

• Annual income-tax return — PIT by the end of April; CIT by the end of the third month after year-end.
• Financial statements (companies) — prepared, approved and filed within set windows after the balance-sheet date.
• JPK_CIT / JPK_KR — structured accounting books filed with the annual return for companies now in scope.

Staying ahead

The deadlines themselves are simple; keeping clean, current books so the numbers are ready before each date is the real work. That is exactly what we take off your desk — you approve, we file. Get in touch to set up your calendar.
