Our international tax services

At SWGK, we understand that every company is unique and that tax strategies should be tailored to individual business needs and goals. Our services for effective international tax management include:

WHT:

Withholding tax is a type of tax levied by the state on income paid to non-residents. It mainly applies to income such as dividends, interest, or royalties. As a rule, the paying entity, i.e. the payer, is obliged to withhold the appropriate amount of tax before transferring the funds to the recipient. As part of our services, we analyze whether there will be an obligation to withhold tax at source in your case, or whether there is no obligation to withhold tax under double tax treaties (DTAs), or whether reduced rates apply.

Tax Compliance:

We provide full tax compliance support, i.e. assistance in preparing and filing the necessary declarations, in accordance with applicable national regulations. Tax compliance includes corporate income tax and VAT in particular, but can also apply to other specific local regulations.

Exit tax:

This is a form of taxation on unrealized gains that arose while assets were in Poland, which are then transferred by the taxpayer to another country. Exit tax has a significant impact on restructuring decisions made by taxpayers, affecting the conduct of international transactions and tax planning. Our services are aimed at all taxpayers considering the transfer of assets abroad or making other decisions that may be subject to exit tax regulations.

Restructurings:

These are processes of changes in a company's organizational, legal, or operational strucure aimed at enhancing efficiency, minimizing tax liabilities, or streamlining the management of related entities, especially across borders. Given the increasing global focus aimed at curbing tax avoidance, restructuring is vital for companies seeking to expand their operations overseas. Companies often face the challenge of not only rethinking their corporate structure, but also adapting it to changing legal requirements and market conditions. In response to these needs, our team offers comprehensive restructuring support services, taking into account both transfer pricing regulations, MDR and GAAR.

Tax benefits:

Our team offers a wide range of services related to tax benefits, which can significantly reduce the tax burden on businesses and encourage further growth and investment. We verify tax relief opportunities, advise on the most appropriate relief, help draft requests for individual interpretations, and calculate tax reliefs.

Consultation on double taxation treaties (DTAs): We

We assist in the interpretation of provisions of double tax treaties regarding, among other things, the establishment of a so-called “permanent establishment” or the status of a beneficial owner. Understanding DTAA provisions is essential for applying preferential withholding tax rates or for tax settlements of non-residents.
