Advisory assistance on all necessary payments: royalties, international transactions, and others

Consulting assistance with all necessary payments: royalties, international transactions, and others

Financial calculations in the field of intellectual property are complex, as each type of payment has its own legal and tax requirements. Errors in the processing of royalties or international transfers can result in significant penalties or transaction blocking. Therefore, professional advice helps businesses and authors avoid risks and operate strictly within the law.

Main types of payments in the field of intellectual property

There are several types of payments in the field of IP that most often require professional clarification. Each of them has its own characteristics, legal grounds and documentation requirements. That is why a preliminary legal analysis helps to avoid problems in further financial relations.

The most common payments are

• Royalties for the use of trademarks, patents, industrial designs and copyrighted works.
• Licence fees under agreements for the use of intellectual property.
• Remuneration to authors for the creation of a work or invention.
• International transactions carried out by companies or individuals.
• Compensation payments in the event of intellectual property rights infringement.

Correctly determining the type of payment is the first step in ensuring that it is legally correct. This minimises tax risks and protects the interests of both parties.

Tax requirements and international rules to consider

When making payments, it is important to consider the tax regulations of different countries, especially if the transactions are international. Each payment has its own tax rate and may also be subject to international tax treaty rules. Without professional advice, it is easy to overlook important details.

Key tax and legal challenges:

• different royalty tax rates in Ukraine, Poland and other countries;
• the need to confirm the residency of the income recipient;
• application of double taxation agreements;
• risk of reclassification of royalties into other types of income;
• requirements of currency legislation for international transfers.

Professional advice helps to build a secure and optimal payment model that takes into account all tax regulations.

How a lawyer helps to build a secure payment system

A lawyer not only explains the legal aspects of payments, but also analyses them taking into account the client's specific situation. This approach provides a personalised solution that complies with legislation and business needs. The consultation covers legal, tax and financial aspects.

Legal advice provides comprehensive protection and helps to avoid mistakes when processing and making payments.
