Home Office and Permanent Establishment in Poland – A Favourable Supreme Administrative Court Ruling for Foreign Companies (CASE STUDY)

Employing remote workers in Poland does not necessarily create a permanent establishment in Poland (PE) – this has been confirmed by the Polish Supreme Administrative Court (NSA) in its recent judgment of 28 October 2025 (case no. II FSK 163/23). The ruling, obtained for a Grant Thornton client, strengthens a favourable line of Polish case law and serves as an important reference point for foreign companies hiring remote employees in Poland.

Management Under Compliance Pressure in Poland – Duties, Risks, and Legal & Financial Consequences

In Poland, there are several hundred thousand capital companies – limited liability companies (sp. z o.o.), joint-stock companies (S.A.), and simple joint-stock companies (P.S.A.). Behind each of them stands at least one management board member – a person who, by resolution of the shareholders, has been granted a mandate to run the organization, but also the obligation to bear responsibility. Often very real, personal, and – as statistics show – increasingly less theoretical.
