The complexity of the Polish tax system and its frequent changes and the discrepancies that arise with regards to its interpretation are material, measurable risk factors affecting the business activities of all taxpayers in Poland. When a tax inspection is carried out, it usually leads to a dispute with the tax authorities, which is why tax advice is such an integral component of the legal services offered by Greenberg Traurig in Poland. Our office applies a comprehensive, multifaceted approach to providing legal advice, based on the observation that legal analysis should as go hand-in-hand with understanding the involved tax implications. This approach enables us to recommend to our clients legal solutions that also include optimal tax solutions. Clients who opt for complex legal advice, including tax advice, can save considerable time and money in their transactions. By including tax advice at the start, as well as throughout the course of our legal work during a given transaction, we are able to avoid unnecessary changes that very frequently arise if tax issues are not given due consideration at the appropriate time.
In our contacts with tax authority representatives, we, first and foremost, focus on convincing them as to the validity of our clients’ positions without the need for a lengthy dispute. In those cases where a dispute is inevitable, we represent our clients before tax authorities and administrative courts.
