Companies like Google, Facebook etc. don't pay taxes in Poland by claiming expenses in Ireland/Holland. Thus they are "at loss" in Poland. The revenue tax would allow no tax avoidance due to that.
- iguy 8y agoI understand but disagree about the tax on profits, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19295683 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19295683 But my question about what Google et. al. actually do in Poland. Is it a sales office for a product made elsewhere? (Few employees, large cash flow.) An engineering office for a product sold elsewhere? (Little VAT, lots of income tax.) Etc.
- BartBoch 8y agoSales for a product made elsewhere. I know where you are going with this - the issue is that they don't pay pretty much any taxes due to avoidance, yet they drain the market from the revenue thus limiting the ability for local companies who cannot avoid taxes trying to develop in this space.
