IP Box

IP Box

The IP Box relief is an excellent opportunity for companies engaged in research and development activities and creating innovative technological solutions. With our support, you can fully leverage the potential of IP Box and optimize your tax settlements.

What is the IP Box?

The IP Box (Innovation Box) is a tax incentive that allows taxpayers to reduce their PIT or CIT rate to 5% on income derived from qualifying intellectual property rights. Introduced in Poland on January 1, 2019, this relief provides an excellent opportunity for companies involved in research and development (R&D) activities and developing innovative solutions.

Check eligible intellectual property rights:
  • Patents
  • Utility model rights
  • Rights from the registration of industrial designs
  • Rights from the registration of integrated circuit topographies
  • Supplementary protection certificates for medicinal and plant products
  • Rights from the registration of medicinal products authorized for marketing
  • Exclusive rights concerning the legal protection of plant varieties
  • Copyright for computer programs

These rights must be created, developed, or improved as part of the company’s research and development activities and must be legally protected following Polish or international law.
