Parliament approves the extension of the IP Box tax relief mechanism following TechPL's 6-month advocacy campaign.
After six months of sustained advocacy, the Sejm has approved a five-year extension of the IP Box preferential tax regime — one of TechPL's flagship legislative proposals. The measure reduces the effective tax rate on income derived from qualifying intellectual property to 5%, down from the standard 19% CIT.
The extension was at risk following a Ministry of Finance review that questioned the scheme's fiscal cost. TechPL's position paper, co-signed by 47 member organizations, demonstrated that every €1 in foregone tax revenue generated €4.2 in incremental R&D investment and €2.8 in high-value job creation.

Katarzyna Mazur — Policy
This is exactly the kind of outcome our Legislative Proposals activity is designed to produce: research-backed, member-endorsed policy change that directly supports ecosystem growth. The IP Box mechanism is now secured through 2030 — aligned with our Top 20 goal timeline.
Next on the legislative agenda: a proposed R&D Super Deduction that would allow companies to deduct 200% of qualifying research expenditure, addressing Poland's declining R&D-to-GDP ratio.
