Taxation for Polish Companies

There are several types of companies that can be registered in Switzerland, depending on the business activities conducted, on the legal form and on the business purpose. That is one of the main reasons why it is recommended to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each legal form before deciding which structure is best for Swiss businesses.

Given the federal structure in Switzerland, there is no centralized fiscal system, some taxes being perceived exclusively by federal authorities, while other taxes are perceived at the cantonal, communal and federal level. Although the tax rate perceived at a federal level is fixed, the perceived cantonal taxation level varies depending on the canton.

SIGTAX has been incorporating companies in many countries for several decades and has earned itself a very good name in the corporate industry. We specialize in the consolidation of companies in Poland through a quick and simplified process.

 

Our expert team is highly experienced and equipped with insider knowledge of the corporate industry in Poland. We pride ourselves on a strong network with the Poland banking institutions and other relevant authorities. Thus by working with SIGTAX, you can be certain that the incorporation process will be quick and cost-effective even in the most difficult situations. Furthermore, we provide outstanding customer service, minimized bureaucracy, confidentiality, and a one-stop solution attitude.

 

As there are currently significant differences in tax rates perceived at cantonal level, choosing a canton for the Swiss company registration is an important element especially for tax planning. Find out more about company registration in Switzerland.

The Swiss verein

Is a type of legal structure that is recognized under Swiss laws in a similar manner to the voluntary association under U.S. law. A Swiss verein is an excellent solution to present a global brand while allowing the firms that are part of the verein to maintain their statute as separate legal entities. It is used mainly by multinational professional services providers in order to limit their accountability.

Swiss holding companies

Mixed companies

The taxable profit for this type of Swiss company is established in accordance with the divisional calculation. Find out more about the tax advantages of Swiss mixed companies.

Partnerships

Are formed as legal structures in Switzerland as following: general partnerships which reunite at least two individuals residents of Switzerland sharing the same economic purpose, or limited partnerships where at least one of the partners has full liability while the other is liable only up to the contribution brought to the respective partnership.

Types of companies incorporated in Poland

This is the most popular company type in Poland and its characteristics are analogical to the UK’s Limited company and the USA’s LLC. There are no limitations on foreign shareholders and all shareholders have limited liability for the company’s debts. It’s compulsory to have at least one board member.

With a minimum share capital of 100,000 PLN(approx. 24 000 EUR or 32 000 USD), this company type mainly applies to large businesses. Its features are analogical to the UK’s PLC and USA’s Inc.Having a supervisory board is essential and there should also be at least one board member.

Popularly known as the “General Partnership” in the UK, the US and other countries, this entity type is common among smaller businesses. There is no fixed minimum share capital required. Most notably, all the partners have full joint liability for the organization’s debts.

This entity pretty much satisfies businesses of any size. It’s compulsory for this company type to have at least two founders. The general partner will have unlimited liability while the limited partner is only liable for the specific amount in which they invested., as specified by the Articles of Association.

This company type is quite unique. Its characteristic features are analogical to Germany’s Kommanditgesellschaft. There is one shareholder who is usually passive and only provides the capital and an active partner responsible for the operations. The active partners are liable to the partnership’s obligations but the limited partners have no compulsions.

This option applies to individuals. Any natural person with the right legal capacity can establish themselves as a sole proprietorship. There is no set minimum share capital required, however, the founder will be held responsible for all liabilities which puts his or her personal assets at risk.
