Correction of overdue accounting obligations in Poland: restoring records and protecting against fines

Solving problems with delayed reporting, bookkeeping, accounting

Correction of overdue accounting obligations in Poland

Accumulated errors, missed reporting deadlines, and chaos in source documentation are not just “technical difficulties.” This is a direct path to blocking bank accounts, huge fines from the Tax Office and ZUS, as well as losing trust from headquarters.

Progress Holding acts as your local finance department in Poland, specializing in emergency restoration and correction of accounting records. We conduct a full audit, correct overdue obligations, minimize financial losses, and build a transparent system that integrates with your headquarters’ reporting.

We work in four languages: English, Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian, eliminating any communication barriers. That’s why international companies turn to us for support.

Our accounting restoration protocol: from chaos to complete order

We have developed a clear action algorithm for foreign companies facing accounting issues. Our goal is not only to fix the past but also to guarantee a flawless future.

Stage 1: Deep diagnostic audit

  • Analysis of all missed deadlines for submitting declarations (VAT, CIT, PIT, ZUS).
  • Verification of the correctness of previously submitted documents and identification of hidden errors.
  • Assessment of potential financial risks and the amount of possible fines.
  • Formation of a transparent report for the headquarters on the current state of affairs with an action plan.

Stage 2: Prompt correction of obligations

  • Preparation and urgent submission of all overdue tax and accounting declarations.
  • Submission of correcting declarations (korekta) to correct errors from previous periods.
  • Interaction with the Tax Office and ZUS to minimize or cancel assessed fines and penalties.
  • Updating registers of fixed assets (Ewidencja środków trwałych) and inventory records.

Stage 3: Implementation of an error prevention system

  • Setting up correct document flow between the Polish subsidiary and headquarters.
  • Implementation of a tax obligation calendar with strict deadline control.
  • Instruction of your employees on the rules for collecting and transferring source documentation.

What specific problems we solve

We take full responsibility for correcting the following critical situations:

  • Overdue tax declarations: Correcting the situation with unsubmitted JPK_VAT, CIT-8, PIT, and other forms on time.
  • Errors in settlements with ZUS: Correction of incorrectly calculated contributions, correction of ZUS DRA and RCA reports, elimination of account blocking risks.
  • Lack of financial reporting: Urgent preparation and submission of the annual financial report to KRS if deadlines were violated.
  • Problems with source documentation: Systematization of lost or incorrectly issued invoices (faktury) and contracts.
  • Ignoring requests from tax authorities: Professional preparation of responses to letters from the Tax Office to stop the escalation of the audit.

The cost of accounting restoration services is calculated individually, based on the volume of accumulated obligations and the complexity of the task. No hidden fees.

Why international business trusts us to correct critical situations

Progress Holding is not a fly-by-night company that will disappear after submitting reports. We build long-term partnerships, relying on our 22 years of experience working with foreign companies in Poland.

  • Role of the local finance department: We are not just external consultants. We become part of your structure, providing coordination with headquarters and providing CFOs with understandable reporting in English, Polish, Ukrainian, or Russian.
  • Deep knowledge of Polish specifics: We know how to properly conduct a dialogue with Polish tax inspectors to achieve a reduction in fines or installment payments, which is not available to specialists without local experience.
  • Confidentiality and security: We guarantee complete protection of your company’s data and a delicate approach to solving problems to maintain the reputation of the business before investors and banks.
  • Personal responsibility: A senior expert is assigned to your project, who personally supervises the restoration process and is responsible for the result.

The cost of inaction: what ignoring overdue accounting means

Postponing the solution to the problem “for later” in the Polish tax system is categorically unacceptable. With each day, the risks grow in geometric progression.

  • Financial losses: Fines for overdue declarations can reach hundreds of thousands of zlotys, plus daily accrual of penalties.
  • Blocking of operational activities: ZUS and banks have the right to block the company’s settlement accounts upon detection of systemic violations.
  • Criminal and administrative liability: Members of the board of a Polish company bear personal responsibility for tax violations.
  • Reputational collapse: Headquarters, investors, and potential buyers of the business lose trust in a company with opaque accounting.
  • Trigger for a total audit: Chaos in documentation is a direct signal for the Tax Office to start a deep tax audit.
