Your tax advantages in Poland
In Poland, the toll collected through the GITD already counts as an official levy and therefore no additional taxes apply to this fee.
On the other hand, on the privately held sections of the A 1, A 2 and A 4 motorways, taxes are levied on usage fees, which business owners can have reimbursed. The current tax rate in Poland is 23%.
Through a power of attorney, our service provider can complete an application on your behalf and manage all associated correspondence. This saves you administrative effort and worrying about language barriers!
