Tax and Legal Consultation Before Registration

The decisions you make before you even register your company can determine your profitability and liability for years to come. Changing your legal form or tax method later can be difficult and costly. J&R Consult provides crucial pre-registration consulting to help you lay a solid foundation for your business in Poland.

Choosing the Right Legal Form

We analyze your business plan, expected revenue, and risk tolerance to recommend the best structure:

• Sole Proprietorship (JDG): Simple to run, but with unlimited personal liability. Good for freelancers.
• Limited Liability Company (Sp. z o.o.): Protects your personal assets and offers more tax planning options, but requires full bookkeeping. Ideal for scaling businesses.
• Branch / Representative Office: For foreign companies wanting a presence in Poland.

Optimizing Your Tax Strategy

We simulate different tax scenarios to find the most efficient setup:

• Income Tax: We compare the General Scale (12/32%), Flat Tax (19%), and Lump-sum (varying rates) for JDG. For LLCs, we explain the 9% CIT rate and Estonian CIT.
• VAT: We determine if you should register for VAT immediately or use the exemption for small businesses (up to 200,000 PLN sales).
• ZUS Optimization: We explain the 'Start Relief' (Ulga na Start) and 'Preferential ZUS' schemes for new entrepreneurs.

Business Activity Codes (PKD)

Selecting the correct PKD codes is vital, as it can affect your tax rate (especially for Lump-sum) and VAT obligations. We help you choose the codes that accurately reflect your activities.

The Roadmap to Launch
