Tax Consultations on Taxation in the European Union
The client approached us with questions regarding the tax aspects of doing business in the European Union. Specifically, they were interested in the process of registering a company as a taxpayer in Poland and the tax obligations of entrepreneurs in other EU countries. Based on our analysis of the legislation, we provided clarifications on important aspects of taxation within the EU and the company registration procedure in Poland.
Key Stages of Registering a Business as a Taxpayer in the EU
- Choosing the Legal Form of the Business: First, you need to select the appropriate legal form for the business. In Poland, this can be a sole proprietorship or a company, such as a limited liability company (sp. z o.o.).
- Registering with the Entrepreneurs’ Register: After selecting the business form, you need to register the business in the Central Register and Information on Economic Activity (CEIDG). This allows you to officially operate a business in Poland.
- Choosing the Tax System: After registering the business, you must select a tax system that best suits the business's specifics. The choice depends on the company’s turnover and other criteria.

Main Types of Taxes for Entrepreneurs in the EU
- Corporate Income Tax (CIT): This is the tax paid by businesses based on the profit they earn. EU countries may have different rates for this tax, but it is mandatory for all companies.
- Value Added Tax (VAT): VAT is one of the main taxes that businesses must pay on all goods and services supplied within the EU. The VAT rate may vary depending on the country.
- Payroll Tax: If a company hires employees, it is required to pay payroll tax, which depends on the rate and type of employment contracts.
