Corporate taxes

摘要

Poland's tax system has been subject to frequent modification and amendments to align it with EU directives and legislation. Amendments in 2001 simplified the taxation process, making it more transparent. A new value-added tax (VAT) law came into force when Poland entered the EU in 2004. Companies pay high taxes on property and certain capital goods, and employer contributions to employee social security are burdensome. However, the standard 19% corporate tax rate remains low by EU standards.
