However, recent legislative proposals (such as draft UD116) have raised concerns due to plans imposing a stricter criterion: hiring a minimum of 3 employees. In this analysis, the Finoditax expert team breaks down the background of these changes, their impact on <a href=\"https:\/\/finoditax.com\/services\/accounting\/jdg\/\">JDG<\/a> and Sp. z o.o. structures, and practical steps to ensure compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section style=\"background: var(--bg);border-radius: 14px;padding: 22px;margin: 25px 0;box-shadow: 5px 5px 42px 0 #d9d9d9\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Why the Polish Ministry of Finance Is Tightening IP Box Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The IP Box relief was originally established to stimulate research and development (R&amp;D) activities and attract innovative businesses to Poland. Over time, individual entrepreneurs (<a href=\"https:\/\/finoditax.com\/kak-otkryt-jdg-inostrancu-v-polshe\/\">JDG<\/a>) working via B2B contracts as solo software developers widely adopted the 5% rate without hiring additional staff.
