Tax rationalisation of supply chain management

The actions taken by capital groups, both Polish and multinational, in the area of supply chain rationalization include among others: integration of business operations / centralisation of selected business and management functions in selected, specialized entities: e.g. in the area of:

  • manufacturing, sales agency services, etc.);,
  • R&D,
  • creation of shared service centres (SSC).

In Poland...

In Poland a consistent expansion of business operations of Polish native entities and capital groups is also clearly seen. This expansion results in adapting the currently applied approach and tools to new scale and scope of business activity. It also includes valuation and optimisation of various business functions and areas of effectiveness, such as:

  • production,
  • distribution,
  • R&D,
  • intangible property (trademarks, production technology, etc.);
  • cross-border business expansion (new markets entry, relocation of production, etc.).

Who and when should consider tax rationalisation of supply chain management?

Enodo Advisors, using extensive experience gained during long years of practicing both in Poland and abroad and thanks to co-operation with our foreign business partners, offer professional support in tax rationalisation of business models and restructurings management. They are particularly useful if you plan:

  • business expansion or relocation of selected functions (e.g. new markets entry, relocation of production) to new countries;
  • integration of business operations or centralisation of selected business and management functions;
  • restructuring or rationalization of existing business model in order to improve its effectiveness / maximize the synergy effects (including e.g. reduction of costs connected with execution of selected business processes);
  • integration of operational activities as a result of mergers and acquisitions;
  • restructurings involving intellectual property;
  • creation of shared service centres.

We also believe that regardless of the above business situations which create possibilities for effective tax rate optimisation, it should also be taken into account that business expansion / restructuring covering foreign markets and tax jurisdictions results in a necessity to analyse the planned business actions from the perspective of local regulations and tax authorities' practice in this respect. In the course of our work we take into account local specific, practice and regulations in Poland as well as in major countries in Europe and Asia.
