New tax obligations for multinationals

The Polish President signed the amended Accounting Act into law on 16 April 2024.

This means that Poland transposes into its national legislation the EU Directive that requires large multinational enterprises to publish how much income tax they have paid in each country. This obligation will become effective from the new financial year commencing after 21 June 2024. 
 

What is going to change

 
The amended statute requires ultimate parent entities and standalone entities to publish income tax reports if their revenues disclosed in the annual financial statements exceeded 750 million euro in each of the two recent financial years.
 
Importantly, the obligation will apply as well to the group members (subsidiaries and branch offices) e.g. if the parent company fails to prepare or file the income tax report. 
 
Data in the report will have to be disclosed separately for each EEA member state in which the company carries on business, and for tax havens.
 

Auditors' check

 
Statutory auditors and audit firms will have to confirm in their auditor's report whether the entity is obliged to file an income tax report and if so – whether it has filed it. Non-compliance is subject to a fine. 
 

Challenges and obligations 

 
The new rules will apply not only to the ultimate parent entities but also their branch offices and subsidiaries. The statute implements the EU Directive, which means that similar obligations will apply across all Member States. That is why it is so important to examine the implications for your business in advance.
