Blog Outsourced.pl

In response to numerous inquiries from our clients, we decided to launch a Tax Blog. We discuss current issues regarding the taxation of creative industries and the IT sector. Bearing in mind that that tax law, general law and accounting consist of hundreds of unclear and interrelated regulations, we try to organize the most important information and provide it in an accessible way.

We do not advise on the blog! This blog is supposed to be a source of information - however, each case should be approached individually. For a tax advice, please visit our website.
