Withholding Tax in Poland - What You REALLY Need to Know

Withholding Tax in Poland - what do foreign investors really need to know? If your company in Poland pays interest, royalties, or certain service fees to foreign entities, you may be required to withhold tax before making the payment. This is known as Withholding Tax (WHT) - and misunderstanding the rules can quickly become expensive. In this video, Maciej Gralec - Lawyer at Dudkowiak & Putyra - explains how withholding tax works in Poland and what international businesses must know before making cross-border payments. Polish WHT rules are complex and heavily scrutinized by tax authorities. Failing to comply may result in financial penalties, blocked refunds, or even liability for company managers. In this video we explain: • What Withholding Tax in Poland is and when it applies • The standard 20% WHT rate for interest, royalties and certain services • How Double Taxation Agreements (DTTs) can reduce or eliminate WHT • What documents are required to apply reduced rates or exemptions • The PLN 2 million “Pay & Refund” threshold • How the beneficial owner test works under Polish tax law • Compliance risks and potential liability for company management Understanding these rules is crucial for foreign investors, multinational companies and businesses operating cross-border with Poland.
