Comprehensive Accounting Support for a Transport Company in Poland: Practical Case Study

Successful operation of a transport company in Poland requires precise, systematic, and compliant accounting support. This case study presents cooperation with a major international logistics company operating across Europe with a fleet of over 15 trucks. The company needed to organize tax, accounting, and HR documentation, ensure effective communication with Polish institutions, and optimize operational costs.

The solutions included full accounting services for the Sp. z o.o., submission of reports to GITD, settlements with ZUS, fuel expense tracking, payroll management for drivers, foreign trade operations support, and representation during audits and inspections.

Main Issues to Solve

  1. Frequent delays in submitting tax reports (VAT, CIT, ZUS)
  2. Lack of proper HR documentation for drivers
  3. Absence of fuel, repair, and toll expense control
  4. Challenges during GITD and tax audits
  5. Need for monthly profitability analysis per vehicle

Stages of Accounting Support

  • Review of current accounting and HR documentation
  • Recalculation of transport expenses: fuel, repairs, insurance
  • Setting up the submission of VAT-7, CIT-8, ZUS DRA, and PIT declarations
  • Preparation of employment contracts for drivers (Umowa o pracę / Zlecenie)
  • Recording business trips, per diems, and working time
  • Reporting transport operations to the GITD
  • Preparing responses to inquiries from the Tax Office, ZUS, and Labor Inspectorate
  • Performing periodic profitability analysis for each vehicle

What Was Achieved

  • Full regularization of the company's accounting and tax reporting
  • Implementation of HR documentation and payroll systems
  • Development of an individual expense control system for each truck
  • Timely submission of all required reports, avoiding penalties
  • Successful passing of GITD and tax audits
  • Over 24,000 PLN saved annually through expense optimization
