VAT refund of 45 M PLN following Supreme Administrative Court ruling

At Lighthouse Tax, we follow a simple principle – whenever possible, disputes should be resolved as quickly as possible. However, sometimes it is necessary to stand your ground. When the tax authorities challenged our client’s right to deduct VAT and demanded a refund of 45 million PLN, our experts successfully obtained rulings from the Supreme Administrative Court confirming that our client was in the right.

Implementation of a tax management system within a Group

Following the introduction in 2021 of the obligation for major taxpayers to report their tax strategies, many of our clients have sought to streamline their internal tax processes. Lighthouse Tax specialists have developed and implemented a comprehensive internal tax procedure system for one of the largest Polish capital groups in the financial services sector. This solution helps our client meet their tax obligations more efficiently while minimizing the risk of personal liability for potential errors.

Implementation of 50% rate of tax deductible costs in IT companies

The IT industry is one of the most competitive sectors in Poland, requiring particular attention to employees’ conditions. Lighthouse Tax has a proven track record of supporting clients in this industry by implementing systems from scratch that allow employees to benefit from the so-called increased tax deductible costs. This includes identifying eligible individuals, determining the level of copyrights, as well as preparing and implementing systems for reporting creative work.

Reclaiming WHT

Withholding tax can be a challenge, but with the right strategy, its impact on your business can be effectively minimized. Our team of experts has in-depth knowledge of WHT refund procedures – from transaction analysis to gathering the required documentation from foreign contractors.

R&D Tax Relief – 20M PLN in savings in the first year

Research and Development (R&D) tax relief is one of the most beneficial tax incentives available – and we know how to implement it safely, even in the largest organizations. For one of our clients specializing in the design of advanced IT solutions, the first year of applying the relief resulted in savings of up to 20M PLN.
