How to open an IT company in Poland: Sp. z o.o. or JDG

If you plan to open an IT company in Poland, the first decision is choosing the business form. Sp. z o.o. (equivalent to LLC) is suitable for companies planning growth, attracting investments, and working with clients in the EU. JDG (sole proprietorship) is suitable if the business is small, without a complex structure or high turnover. We assist with both: selecting the appropriate form, considering the specifics of IT services, contract risks, scale, and hiring employees.

Taxation of IT business in Poland: CIT, VAT, Benefits

For Sp. z o.o., the standard corporate income tax (CIT) rate is 19%, but for small companies with an annual turnover of up to €2 million, a reduced rate of 9% applies.
VAT (Value Added Tax): the standard rate is 23%, with possible reduced rates depending on the type of services or goods. VAT registration may be mandatory depending on turnover or business specifics.
Additional benefits include IP-BOX, R&D (badawczo-rozwojowa) expenses, and some types of activity may qualify for tax credits or reductions.

Required documents and registration numbers: NIP, REGON, KRS

To register Sp. z o.o., you need:

Statutory documents (foundation agreement, statute)
Company name and legal address
Data on owners and directors
Obtain KRS — court register number
Obtain NIP (tax identification number) and REGON (statistical number)
For JDG, documents are also required, but the procedure is simpler and can often be done remotely or electronically.

Bank account opening and legal address / virtual office

For Sp. z o.o., opening a bank account in Poland is practically mandatory — without it, many operations, especially international, are difficult to conduct. We advise which banks offer the best conditions for IT companies and how to prepare the documents. A legal address is an important registration element. If a physical office is not required, a virtual office can be used, providing a legal address and mail reception.

Employee legal status: PESEL, residence card, and work permits

If you plan to hire people in Poland or relocate employees from Ukraine, you need to consider:

PESEL — identification number for individuals in Poland
Residence card (temporary or permanent) — for legal stay/residence
Work permits if the employee is from outside the EU or has other special requirements

We will prepare all necessary documents and provide consultation to avoid fines or delays.
