Tax reliefs for companies – increase profits, save on taxes
Tax reliefs are an effective tool that allows companies to reduce their fiscal burden and invest more in growth. In the maze of regulations, however, it is easy to overlook opportunities that can bring real savings. EFEKTA offers comprehensive tax relief consultancy, helping businesses make the most of the benefits available and ensure compliance.
What are tax reliefs and why should you use them?
Tax reliefs are preferences provided by legislation that allow companies:
- Reduce the tax base;
- Reduce the tax due;
- Receive reimbursement for costs incurred.
They enable entrepreneurs to significantly reduce their tax burden, increasing liquidity and investing more in growth.

Tax reliefs in practice – real benefits for companies
Many companies do not realise that everyday operations such as new product development, research work or investment in innovation can qualify for tax relief.
For example, the costs of specialists’ salaries, the purchase of equipment or the testing of prototypes often meet the criteria for R&D relief or other preferences. With analysis and expert support, tax settlements can be optimised, which in practice translates into significant financial savings. Companies can use the money they save to grow their business.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main benefits of using tax reliefs?
Tax reliefs are legal tools that allow you to genuinely reduce your tax due or lower your tax base. As a result, the company retains more funds for investments, improves its financial liquidity, and in some cases, may even receive a refund of a portion of the incurred costs.
Can my company benefit from the R&D relief if it doesn’t have its own laboratory?
Yes. The Research and Development (R&D) relief is not reserved exclusively for scientific institutes. It can be utilized by companies that develop new products, improve technologies, or work on innovative solutions as part of their daily operations. Eligible costs can include, for example, the remuneration of specialists engaged in a given project.
What does the IP Box preference entail and who can use it?
The IP Box allows income derived from qualified intellectual property rights (e.g., copyright to a computer program or a patent) to be taxed at a preferential rate of 5% (instead of the standard 12%, 19%, or 32%). This is a particularly popular solution among software developers and technology companies.
What investments are covered by the robotization relief?
This relief is available to enterprises investing in industrial robots. It allows for an additional deduction of 50% of the costs associated with purchasing robots, machinery, and peripheral devices (e.g., sensors, controllers), which significantly accelerates the return on investment in production automation.
What is the difference between the prototype relief and the expansion relief?
The prototype relief applies to the stage of creating and testing a new product before mass production begins. Conversely, the expansion relief supports companies that already have a finished product and wish to increase its sales by deducting the costs of marketing, participating in trade fairs, or preparing tender documentation.
Can everyday ecological expenses lower my tax?
Yes. There are ecological and thermo-modernization reliefs available. If a company invests in renewable energy sources (RES), electromobility, or modernizes buildings to improve their energy efficiency, it can count on specific tax preferences.
How does EFEKTA support entrepreneurs in the process of implementing tax reliefs?
We take a comprehensive approach: first, we analyze the company’s operations to identify available reliefs; next, we verify eligible costs and prepare full documentation (applications, records). We ensure that the process is entirely secure and strictly compliant with the current jurisprudence of tax authorities.
Does applying tax reliefs increase the risk of a tax audit?
Applying tax reliefs requires meticulous documentation, which is why the support of EFEKTA experts is crucial. We ensure the complete substantive correctness of all deductions. In the event of an audit, we represent your company before the authorities, taking on the process of explaining and confirming your right to the applied preferences.
