How to end your business in Poland?

If we come to the conclusion that there is no point in continuing to do business, then liquidation proceedings should be carried out. The shareholders’ meeting takes place at the notary public, where the decision is made to dissolve the company and appoint its liquidator.
The liquidator of the company may be someone from the company’s former management board or any person indicated by the management board. It is safer to employ people with knowledge of the liquidation proceedings.

The conditions for bankruptcy law are already crucial in the liquidation process. It may turn out that after opening the liquidation process of the company, it turns out that we have at least two creditors and overdue receivables exceed three months, then we have 30 days to file for bankruptcy, despite the fact that the company is in liquidation. Finally, after 6 months from the date of announcement of the company’s liquidation in the Court and Economic Monitor, the meeting of shareholders may decide to remove the company from the National Court Register.

Is Poland an attractive country for foreigners?

Among the citizens of countries that recognize Poland as an attractive direction of immigration are Ukrainians, Russians and Belarusians, as well as citizens of Asian countries (Vietnamese, Chinese, Hindus) and citizens of the countries of the South Caucasus. According to the estimates of the Government Population Council, due to the low fertility rate of women, Poland will need about 5 million immigrants, only to maintain the current economic level. In this context, immigration from Ukraine is particularly important. The presence of Ukrainian employees on the Polish labor market is more and more necessary, and the creation of facilities for them is much needed, as they are also becoming desirable on other Western markets.
In recent years, a number of facilities for foreigners have been introduced in Poland. On the other hand, Polish society is still perceived (quite stereotypically) as reluctant to foreigners, and the provisions of Polish law, despite being updated, still constitute a fairly significant barrier to access to the labor market and education.

According to experts of the Association of Entrepreneurs and Employers, this may result in an outflow of Ukrainian workers from Poland of around half a million, which may result in a 1.6 per cent GDP decline (1/3 of the growth rate). Visa liberalization to the EU appears to be Germany’s first step in acquiring qualified employees, but much has been said about simplified procedures for recognizing the qualifications of people outside the EU, support in learning German or integration activities.

Is Poland concerned by the migration crisis?

The migration crisis is one of the most pressing problems in the European Union. The number of immigrants has been increasing in recent years, and the issue of immigration has become a political issue in EU countries. Despite the increase in immigration in recent years, Poland still belongs to emigration countries, not immigration countries. This means that Poland is classified as a country not directly affected by the migration crisis, which has an impact on the attitude of the Polish government towards the crisis and how to solve it.

Among the motives for immigration to Poland, the economic factor and the prospect of stable employment and earnings still prevail, and family ties and cultural closeness facilitate the decision on immigration to Poland. According to information from the Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Policy, about 1.5 million foreigners work in Poland, although this data may be underestimated due to the fact that some foreigners stay in Poland illegally and take up illegal work.

What is Bitcoin cryptocurrency and BTC exchange?

Bitcoin is a form of digital currency, created and stored electronically. Established in 2009, by its creator Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto. It was the first virtual payment method of this type in the world. Unlike traditional, physical currencies like euros or dollars, Bitcoin is not printed – it has no physical form. Instead, bitcoin is created by computer scientists around the world, using programs that solve mathematical problems.

Bitcoin becomes very popular exchange medium that we can pay for more and more products and services. Day by day we can hear that more institutions, stores and other companies are starting to accept bitcoin. It is also a currency that has no physical form and can be sent immediately to anywhere on earth. This has a lot of advantages compared to e.g. international bank transfers, where money has to go through several banks along the way, and thus be saved on several subsequent virtual account books. Β 

Banks are another significant difference between cryptocurrencies and physical cash. The central bank’s mission is to stabilize its own currency. It can increase the money supply, which we call ‘reprinting’ to cover government debts, thereby devaluing the currency. However, in the case of digital currency, there is no such thing as Bitcoin Bank that would also be its regulator. This is due to the fact that Bitcoin is a bank in its own right. The independent accounting book contains information about the ownership status of all users and the history of transactions between them. To open an account with cryptocurrency, just download the special application and generate a login and password. Each user’s account is completely anonymous and has no formal requirements.

Here the meaning of the term “crypto” is revealed to us, because the above-mentioned information is just encrypted inside bitcoin. The way encryption is done is a revolution in the field of information technology – it is called “Blockchain”.

Inflation devouring investment profits

Considering the current deposit interest rate and inflation at the level of 2.4%, it turns out that the vast majority of deposits bring us losses in real terms. To beat inflation, interest would have to be as much as 3 percent. The rate must be higher than inflation because interest is reduced by tax. It is also worth adding that it will be harder and harder to get real profits, as forecasts say that at the end of the year prices may rise at a rate exceeding 3 percent. To beat this level, deposit interest would have to be above 3.7 percent. There are no such offers on the market, except for short-term promotions for new customers. It should be added, however, that keeping money on an interest-free account or in cash, the real value of savings will fall even faster than those placed even on a weak deposit.

Why banks reduce interest rates on deposits.

The rate reductions are due to the fact that this strategy brings double benefits to banks. First of all, paying lower interest costs less. In addition, some people discouraged by low interest rates give up deposits and simply keep savings on an interest-free bill. This means for banks a free source of financing. In addition, the advantage of deposits over loans granted is increasing in the banking sector. The value of the former is already 13 percent higher than loans. For comparison, in 2011 the situation was opposite – the value of loans was up by 14 percent higher than deposits. Banks are therefore less and less motivated to pay us high interest rates. They are not able to earn part of our savings because they give too little credit.

We started to withdraw money from bank deposits again.

In April 2018, the wave of withdrawals from bank deposits ended, which reduced their balance by as much as PLN 35 billion. It seems that after more than a year of peace another one begins, because we have been observing payments again for three months. They led to the fact that the importance of investments fell to the lowest level in history. We keep only 1/3 of savings on them. At the end of May, Poles had PLN 260 billion in bank deposits, which is almost PLN 3 billion less than in February. In total, we have PLN 773 billion in banks, so the share of deposits is only 33 percent. and is the lowest ever. First of all, low interest rates discourage them from deposits. This year it is constantly falling. In December 2018, it was on average 1.83 percent, and in April this year only 1.56 percent.

On 1.12.2010, the European Commission issued a document called the “Green Paper” on the future of VAT. It set out recommendations that were necessary for simpler and more efficient settlement of value added tax. In addition, one of the tools aimed at minimizing tax fraud was to be a system monitoring all invoices in combination with settlements made by entrepreneurs for VAT. The Central Invoice Register will be such a tool in Poland. It is a tool that allows checking the correctness of issuing invoices, analyzing and detecting carousels and eliminating, among others, the so-called empty invoices, i.e. documenting fictitious transactions. In addition, CRF is to streamline and accelerate tax audits.
