Polish Speaking Accountants or Polish Accountants

Introduction

Polish language is spoken mostly by people of Poland. It is an official language in Poland, and acknowledged as a minority language in Ukraine, Czech Republic, Romania, and Slovakia. Additionally, there are large Polish-speaking communities in the UK, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Belarus, Canada, Lithuania, the US, Germany, and Russia along with many other countries. Learning Polish can help in easy grasping of other West-Slavonic languages such as Czech, Slovak, and Sorbian which are closely-related. It will also be an added advantage in learning any other Slavonic language: Bosnian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Russian, Croatian, Macedonian, Ukrainian, Slovene, and Serbian. According to a recent study, Polish has become the most regularly spoken non-native foreign language in England and Wales. The figuresshow that almost 140,000 individuals living in England and Wales cannot converse in English

Additionally, a corporate entity must file accounts once per year (within six months from the end of a financial year) with the Company Registration Court and the Tax Authorities

The sale of goods or services is subject to value added tax (VAT), if not exempt otherwise or outside the scope of VAT. Usually, most business activities are subject to VAT and the criterion rate of VAT is 23%.
