New regulations and significant changes in the field of taxes, accounting and law – all of which will have a significant impact on entrepreneurs in 2019 – were just some of the topics discussed at the 9th KPMG Tax and Accounting Congress, which took place in Warsaw on January 15.
The KPMG Tax and Accounting Congress is the largest project of this type in Poland, organized by the audit and advisory firm KPMG since 2011. This year’s edition of the KPMG Congress was attended by almost 1,100 people, of which nearly 700 were local.
During the event, the upcoming changes in PIT, VAT, CIT and transfer pricing regulations were presented, and new regulations on the Polish Investment Zone and Innovation Box were also introduced. KPMG experts discussed the assumptions of horizontal monitoring, Employee Capital Plans and upcoming XBRL requirements.Speakers also raised the issues of taxation of the digital economy and minimization of tax risk in international transactions.
As in previous years, a survey on the Polish tax system was conducted among the participants of the Congress. The results were the basis of the report entitled: “The Polish tax system according to the participants of the 9th KPMG Tax and Accounting Congress,” which was released in February.
