Was zu tun ist
Calendar the three linked deadlines for your financial year-end: statement preparation and CIT-8 filing (3 months), shareholder/AGM approval (6 months), and KRS/RDF filing (15 days after approval, capped at 15 July for calendar-year filers). File the approved statements free of charge via the Portal Rejestrów Sądowych RDF.
Sanktion
Fines under the Accounting Act and the Fiscal Penal Code (Kodeks karny skarbowy) for late or missing CIT-8/financial-statement filings; persistent non-filing to the KRS can trigger compulsory-dissolution (postępowanie przymuszające) proceedings against the company.
