Accounting for IT and technology industries – finance in automatic mode

In the world of IT and new technologies, time is not just money – it is an opportunity for development and innovation. Programmers, IT professionals and technology companies know that every second matters. Therefore, IT accounting should work like an optimised algorithm – efficiently, accurately and seamlessly. EFEKTA Accounting Office offers accounting services tailored to the dynamic needs of the IT industry, helping you manage your finances like a true DevOps professional.

Why does IT accounting require a dedicated approach?

The IT and technology industries are governed by its own rules. Your challenges are not only developing applications, but also managing finances in an increasingly complex environment:

1. International settlements
   Freelancing for foreign clients, working with global companies, platforms such as Upwork or Toptal – these are the daily routine of IT professionals. Foreign currency settlements, VAT OSS or withholding tax require specialist knowledge.
2. Revenue from a variety of sources
   Software licences, SaaS services, website development or application development – each form of business requires proper revenue recording.
3. Costs and tax reliefs
   Purchases of hardware, programming tools, subscriptions (AWS, Azure, GitHub), as well as IP Box or R&D relief can all be factored into tax optimisation.
4. Salary complexity
   Working as a freelancer, a B2B contractor, in a start-up or a corporation – each form of cooperation requires an individual approach to settlements.
5. Settlement of technology projects
   Start-ups and technology companies pursuing innovative projects often have to manage investor funds, grants or subsidies, which requires precise accounting.

Does the EFEKTA office assist with the IP Box tax relief?

Yes. We support programmers and technology companies in the process of utilizing the IP Box tax relief, which allows for a reduced tax rate of 5% on income from qualified intellectual property rights. We help maintain the necessary records and assess whether your projects meet the required criteria.

How to settle cooperation with foreign clients and platforms like Upwork?

We specialize in international settlements. We handle transactions in foreign currencies, settle VAT OSS, and assist with issues related to withholding tax. We know how to properly document contracts with global platforms to ensure full compliance with Polish regulations.

Can I deduct the costs of tool subscriptions such as AWS, Azure, or GitHub?

Of course. We understand the cost specifics of the IT industry. We correctly account for expenses on cloud infrastructure, developer tools, and SaaS licenses, optimizing your tax liabilities.

Do you serve both B2B contractors and startups?

Yes. Our offer is scalable. We support both individual IT specialists on B2B contracts (freelancers) and dynamically growing startups that need support in managing funds from investors, grants, or full accounting.

What are the benefits of the R&D (B+R) relief in the technology industry?

The research and development (R&D) relief allows for an additional deduction of qualified costs associated with innovation. We help identify these costs in your projects (e.g., salaries of a team working on a new algorithm), which effectively lowers the tax base.

Does the EFEKTA office integrate with modern IT systems?

Yes, we focus on “finance in automatic mode.” We use modern accounting tools that can be integrated with your ERP systems or sales applications, making the document exchange process fast and error-free.

Do I have to contact the Tax Office or ZUS on my own?

No. As your business partner, we take full responsibility for representing you before the authorities. We ensure the timely filing of declarations and eliminate the risk of errors that could result in audits.

Why is an IT-specialized accountant a better choice than a general accounting office?

The IT industry has unique tax privileges (like IP Box) and specific costs (SaaS, hosting). A dedicated accountant at EFEKTA understands these concepts and can “speak the language of technology,” which translates into better financial optimization and no need to explain what AWS or GitHub is.
