On January 1, 2018, the Act on Corporate Income Tax introduced a provision restricting the possibility of recognizing as tax costs the costs of some intangible services incurred to related entities. As a result, related companies cannot consider some of the costs incurred as a tax cost and thus pay a higher income tax. The purpose of the publication is to discuss the tax restriction in the form of limiting the costs of intangible services incurred for related entities, to present the reasons and effects of introducing this regulation and to create recommendations for related entities to whom this limitation applies. The method of analyzing tax regulations and tax interpretations as well as publications on the discussed issue were used, as well as the author’s professional experience. The final conclusions include examples of actions recommended in the face of the studied problem, including analysis of agreements in force between related entities and acquisition of intangible services from unrelated entities.
