Withholding tax (WHT)
Our approach
Our approach is based on integrated advisory services that combine tax expertise with a deep understanding of business realities. The proposed actions are tailored to the scale and specifics of the client’s operations. Solutions that secure the area of withholding tax (WHT) can often be incorporated into the design of other procedures and processes within the organization.
For whom?
Our advisory services in the area of withholding tax (WHT) are directed at any organization that engages in transactions beyond the territory of Poland. This area is critically important for entities with foreign capital and those that are part of large international capital groups. Our experience and comprehensive approach are particularly valuable for organizations that recognize the need to organize (including for previous settlement periods) and wisely process WHT-related matters.
Withholding tax often remains somewhat on the sidelines of the main focus areas for accountants, controllers, and auditors. Meanwhile, the obligations and risks associated with its settlement are highly significant, and their importance increases every year.
With practical and tailored solutions, we help reduce risks and simplify WHT processes.
