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.
