We advised a UK-based company from a multinational group on its plan to open a logistics warehouse in Poland. The project hinged on whether such a presence would trigger a permanent establishment under Polish corporate income tax law – and with it, full tax obligations and foreign exchange compliance typically required of domestic sellers.

We delivered an in-depth analysis of the planned logistics and operational setup, including goods and document flows, outlining precise safeguards to prevent the UK company from becoming a Polish CIT taxpayer. VAT registration was anticipated and accepted as part of the structure.

The outcome: a detailed operational memorandum enabling the client to run a compliant logistics operation in Poland while avoiding corporate tax exposure and the burdens of full legal presence in the local market.
