Programmdetails
Poland's IP Box regime (introduced in 2019) provides a preferential 5% tax rate on qualifying income derived from intellectual property rights. This compares very favorably to Poland's standard 32% top marginal income tax rate or 19% flat tax option.
Qualifying IP rights include patents, utility models, registered industrial designs, integrated circuit topographies, additional protection certificates for pharmaceutical and plant protection products, and copyrighted software.
The regime follows OECD nexus principles, meaning benefits are proportional to R&D expenditure incurred by the taxpayer. The "modified nexus approach" calculation determines what portion of IP income qualifies for the 5% rate based on qualifying R&D costs.
Poland's IP Box can apply to both corporate and individual taxpayers who generate income from qualifying IP. It is particularly attractive for software developers and tech entrepreneurs given that software copyrights qualify.
