What exactly do tax compliance and reporting specialists do?

On a day-to-day basis, tax compliance specialists work to ensure that tax reporting obligations are met in accordance with the latest tax legislation and by the required deadlines (monthly, quarterly or annual). In practice, their main duties include reviewing accounting entries from the point of view of tax law, calculating taxes, informing clients of the amount of public levies to be paid (or refunds to be claimed), as well as preparing and submitting the necessary documents to the relevant authorities (such as tax returns, reports – e.g. NBP or GUS, standard audit files JPK and other information). In order to carry out their duties properly, tax compliance professionals must constantly monitor and implement changes in tax legislation, which means that they must constantly expand and update their knowledge.

What are the potential consequences of underestimating the importance of tax compliance in your organisation?

Failure to comply with tax laws in Poland can have various consequences for an organisation, depending on the nature and extent of the violation. These range from financial and non-financial penalties in the form of interest for failure to file a tax return or pay tax, to the freezing of bank accounts, difficulties in attracting investors and loss of reputation, to the seizure of assets and even imprisonment in the case of personal liability for tax fraud. Sometimes, a taxpayer’s non-compliance may be the result of multiple changes in regulations, apparently unintentional and trivial, but – as we all know – ignorance of the law is no excuse and does not absolve one from liability.

Why is it so difficult to maintain a tax compliant status?

In 2023, tax law in Poland and its interpretation were in a state of chaos. Tax regulations were constantly being amended and changes were postponed and modified even before they came into force (during vacatio legis). Anyone could get lost in this confusion, so seeking the assistance of an external expert is just a sign of normal prudence in today’s business reality.

What we are good at

Current challenges/risks, new regulations

Tax compliance in the age of artificial intelligence

In an era of ubiquitous digitalisation and with the increasing role of technology in tax administration – led by the growing use of artificial intelligence by public authorities – ensuring tax compliance is no longer just an unavoidable formality, but a strategic element of business management and an important tool for reducing tax risks. In fact, the data show that the use of AI in tax administration is no longer a trend but a standard, significantly increasing the scope and effectiveness of tax inspections. Frequent and profound changes in tax legislation, and the complexities they bring, mean that running a business is increasingly like navigating a large cruise ship on a rough sea full of reefs and shallows. In such circumstances, external tax compliance professionals become an indispensable resource for managers and boards of companies of all sizes and industries, helping to minimise risk and ensure full compliance with applicable regulations. Especially as we seem to be facing one economic and geopolitical challenge after another, both domestically and internationally.

Law enforcement hot on the trail of sanctions-busting businesses

Entrepreneurs who violate EU sanctions against Russia and Belarus cannot rest easy. This is because Polish law provides for criminal prosecution of those who violate the ban on exporting and importing sanctioned goods and statistics show that law enforcement agencies are actively using the powers granted to them to initiate criminal proceedings.

Reporting and Tax Compliance FAQ

  • 1. What is tax compliance and when is it a good idea to use such a service?

    With the tax compliance service, an external service provider ensures that the client complies with its tax reporting obligations in a correct and timely manner, thereby ensuring the client’s tax security. It is worth using such a service to increase the security of the company’s tax settlements by utilising the knowledge of external experts, backed up by practical experience in the application of tax law in various organisations.
  • 2. How far back can you handle our tax reporting?

    We are sometimes approached by entrepreneurs who have realised that they have been negligent in their tax reporting and compliance for several years due to various business or life situations. We take on such challenges with full commitment and utmost diligence – tax regulations allow for the review and retrospective correction of financial statements, tax returns and other forms of tax information up to the statute of limitations (normally up to approximately 5 years).
  • 3. Can you prepare JPK files on request?

    Of course, we are happy to prepare standard audit files (JPK) – accounting records, VAT, sales and warehouse files – provided that we receive the data in the required format from the client.
