Less Tax, More Freedom: Poland Launches Deregulation Drive

Less Tax, More Freedom: Poland Launches Deregulation Drive

On May 6, 2025, the Polish government approved a sweeping deregulation package designed to simplify tax regulations, reduce bureaucratic pressure, and bring greater predictability to the business environment. Most of the reforms will take effect on January 1, 2026 — though one major change applies immediately.

Key tax changes aimed at empowering businesses:

🔸 6-Month Buffer for Negative Tax Changes
Any amendments that may worsen a taxpayer’s position must now include a minimum six-month vacatio legis (grace period before the law takes effect). This gives businesses time to adjust and reduces the risks of sudden regulatory shocks.

🔸 Higher VAT Exemption Threshold
The VAT exemption cap will increase from PLN 200,000 to PLN 240,000. For newly established businesses, the threshold will still be applied proportionally based on how long they have operated during the fiscal year.

🔸 Elimination of Mandatory Tax Strategy Disclosures
Large corporate income taxpayers will no longer be required to publish their tax strategies — a change benefiting over 4,300 entities and marking a major shift toward deregulation and business confidentiality.

🔸 Flexible Declaration Corrections
Entrepreneurs will be allowed to correct tax filings even after tax or customs inspections — partially incorporating the audit findings. Moreover, “initial declarations” may be submitted within 14 days of an inspection’s start or end. If tax arrears are paid, no penalties will apply.

What does this mean for global businesses?

Poland is clearly positioning itself as a pro-business jurisdiction in the heart of Europe. By lifting administrative burdens and offering transparent transition periods, the country is creating a stable climate for both domestic and foreign investment — particularly for fintech, crypto, and cross-border service providers.
