Tax Cooperation Tools: Who Can Use Them and How They Work

Dealing with Poland’s tax authorities does not have to mean waiting for uncertainty or inspections, according to an overview of cooperation tools available to companies.

The Cooperation Programme and tax agreements are presented as mechanisms that can provide greater certainty over tax settlements and help businesses avoid disputes with the tax authorities. The programme forms part of Poland’s tax system and was introduced several years ago.

Its approach rests on three principles: trust, understanding and transparency. The arrangement brings the National Revenue Administration into a form of closer cooperation with large entities, going beyond the standard rights and obligations set out in tax legislation.

The stated goal is joint action to ensure compliance with tax law while taking account of the individual needs and expectations of key taxpayers. The framework is intended to provide safer conditions for conducting business in Poland.
