Poland: Proposed exemption from withholding tax on T-bills and T-bonds was adopted by Polish institutions
Clearstream Banking1 informs customers that effective
1 January 2023
foreign investors will benefit from an exemption from withholding tax on interest and redemption payments for all Polish T-bills and T-bonds.
This follows the proposed amendments to the Corporate Income Tax (CIT) and Personal Income Tax (PIT) previously described in Tax Newsflash T22006 being adopted by the Polish parliament and approved by the Polish president.
The new regulations remain subject to a more detailed assessment by Clearstream Banking’s depository.
Impact on customers
Foreign investors will no longer be taxed on interest and redemption payments relating to domestic T-bills and T-bonds. The operational procedure has not yet been communicated by Clearstream Banking’s depository and will be announced when available.
Further information
Clearstream Banking will continue to monitor the Polish market and will provide further information as it becomes available.
