Business development requires not only capital, but also the optimal use of available legal and tax tools. The Polish Investment Zone is a support instrument for entrepreneurs planning new investments, allowing them to obtain CIT or PIT income tax exemption. At Henclewski Law Firm, we help smoothly navigate the process of obtaining a support decision and ensure legal security during its multi-year implementation, protecting your business from the risk of losing tax relief.
Currently, support within the Polish Investment Zone can be obtained throughout the entire country, not just within the boundaries of former special economic zones. Eligibility depends on meeting a range of criteria, such as investment value, location, company size, and the quality of the planned project. Obtaining a decision allows the entrepreneur to retain funds in the company that would otherwise be paid as tax, allocating them toward further development, hiring, or subsequent ventures.
It should be remembered that a favorable decision is only the beginning of a multi-year investment monitoring period. The entrepreneur must strictly comply with the declared conditions, and any changes to business assumptions may lead to severe consequences, including the obligation to repay the public aid received, together with interest.
Our Law Firm provides legal assistance both at the application stage and during the implementation of the project itself, minimizing legal risks.
Frequently Asked Questions regarding the Polish Investment Zone
The Polish Investment Zone (PSI) is a support instrument for entrepreneurs planning to implement new investments. The main difference is that a support decision can, as a rule, be obtained for an investment located anywhere in Poland, without the need to conduct business within the designated areas of the former special economic zones.
The primary benefit is the eligibility for Corporate Income Tax (CIT) or Personal Income Tax (PIT) exemption on income generated by a new investment. Funds that would otherwise be allocated toward tax payments remain within the enterprise and can be reallocated toward further development, equipment, or workforce expansion.
ligible costs include, among others, expenses for:
- Acquisition of real estate.
- Construction or expansion of a plant.
- Purchase of machinery and equipment.
- Modernization of existing fixed assets.
- Acquisition of certain intangible assets.
A support decision is issued for a definite period, which is 12, 14, or 15 years – depending on the location of the investment.
A support decision entails the requirement to fulfill specific conditions over a multi-year period. These typically concern:
- Incurring the minimum value of eligible costs.
- Completing the investment within a specified deadline.
- Creating new jobs or maintaining the existing employment level.
- Conducting a specified type of business activity and meeting the declared qualitative criteria.
