The Commercial Companies Code, the Civil Code, the Labour Code and the tax acts in brief.
Introduction
Doing business in Poland rests on a handful of acts. Knowing their basics helps you understand what can be agreed in a contract and what follows from the law.
How it works
- Commercial Companies Code: formation and operation of companies
- Civil Code: contracts, liability, limitation periods
- Labour Code: employment and employee rights
- Entrepreneurs’ Law: rules for conducting business
- the CIT, PIT and VAT Acts and the Tax Ordinance
- GDPR and the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AML)
Why it matters and what is important
Laws change frequently. The current texts of acts are published in the Internet System of Legal Acts (isap.sejm.gov.pl).
