What is a family foundation?
A family foundation is a legal entity used to manage family wealth, protect assets, and secure the future of future generations. Through a family foundation, it is possible to transfer assets in an orderly manner while maintaining control over their use, which helps ensure the harmonious operation of family businesses and the protection of beneficiaries’ interests.

Planning for the future: the family foundation and succession
It’s important to note that a Polish family foundation not only serves as a tool for business succession but also enables tax optimization strategies. The taxation, limited to the benefits paid to beneficiaries, can translate into financial advantages. This can lead to better asset management and reinvestment of savings into business growth.
Taxation is a key element that sets these organizations apart from other legal forms. Taxes are only levied on the benefits paid to beneficiaries, which is a significant advantage. This approach promotes efficient financial resource management, increasing investment potential. Additionally, a Polish family foundation benefits from exemptions from ongoing CIT tax, allowing for greater flexibility in reinvesting profits.
Practical aspects of family foundation taxation
Maximizing available benefits is achievable through thorough analysis and appropriate preparation regarding the taxation of family foundations. Not only are proper planning and implementation essential, but ongoing advice on tax liabilities and regulatory compliance is also crucial.
It’s worth remembering that establishing and running this type of organization requires meeting specific legal requirements. Providing support in this area, including tax advice, is one of the services offered by Staniek&Partners.
