Foreign companies pay less in taxes than domestic

Companies with a foreign capital pay less in income taxes than the domestic ones, according to Bisnode for daily Rzeczpospolita. In the years 2011-2013, 500 biggest Polish companies paid PLN 22.4 billion in taxes, which accounts for 0.96 percent of their revenues and 22 percent of incomes. To compare, 500 leading foreign owned companies paid only PLN 9.5 billion which equals to 0.7 percent of revenues and 17.5 percent of incomes. According to the daily, the numbers are a proof that foreign firms tend to evade paying taxes.
