Common questions

By when must a Polish limited company hold its annual shareholders' meeting?

Within 6 months of the end of the financial year — by 30 June for a calendar year (art. 231 § 1 of the Commercial Companies Code). The meeting approves the financial statements and management report, decides on the profit or loss, and grants discharge (§ 2). The board prepares the financial statements themselves within 3 months of the year's end (art. 52(1) of the Accounting Act).

Where are the financial statements filed after the shareholders' meeting?

In the Financial Documents Repository at the KRS, within 15 days of approval (art. 69(1) of the Accounting Act), together with the approving resolution and the resolution on profit or loss. Filing is electronic; a resolution drawn up on paper goes in as a scan, which in 2026 must carry a qualified, trusted or personal signature of an authorised person (art. 19e of the National Court Register Act).

Does a shareholder who sits on the board vote on their own discharge?

No. A shareholder may not vote, personally or by proxy, on resolutions concerning their own liability to the company, including discharge (art. 244 of the Commercial Companies Code). In a single-shareholder company where the sole shareholder is also on the board, there is in practice nobody to grant it — a well-known question in Polish legal writing.
