Accounting for lawyers - no mistakes in lump-sum tax rates or VAT registration

A wrong lump-sum tax rate or a missed VAT registration obligation is a cost you pay out of your own pocket at the first audit. We take over your law firm's accounting: you handle your clients' cases, we handle the books.

Accounting for lawyers and law firms - FAQ

What lump-sum tax rate applies to a lawyer running a law practice in Poland?

Advocates, legal advisers and notaries practicing a liberal profession pay lump-sum tax on recorded revenue at a rate of 17%. However, if a lawyer engages another person to provide legal services, for example another lawyer under a civil-law contract or a cooperation agreement, the business no longer meets the definition of a liberal profession, and its revenue may be taxed at the reduced rate of 15%. This position is confirmed by individual tax rulings issued by the Director of National Tax Information. Before making a decision, it is worth confirming the current rate and reviewing your individual situation with a tax adviser.

Do you serve law firms operating as professional or limited partnerships?

Yes. We keep full accounting books for partnerships whose partners are advocates or legal advisers, including the partners' CIT/PIT settlements and financial statements.

How quickly can I start working with Evotax?

After a free consultation and signing the contract, we prepare your first settlement within the next few days. You do not have to wait for the start of a month or tax year.

Do you handle payroll for trainees engaged under civil-law contracts?

Yes. We calculate pay, keep working time records and settle social security (ZUS) contributions for trainees and associates of the firm, regardless of their form of engagement.

Can I move my law firm's accounting to you during the tax year?

Yes, taking over accounting mid-year is a standard procedure. We ensure continuity of your settlements and contact your previous accounting firm on your behalf if needed.

Is the service fully remote?

Yes. You hand over documents through a secure online portal and stay in touch with your account manager remotely, with no need to visit our office.
