Answers to common questions

Is a divorce obtained in England valid in Poland?Show answer

Yes, UK judgments are recognised in Poland, but they require formal registration at the Civil Registry Office. We help not only with obtaining the divorce in the UK, but also with dividing assets (clean break order), which is key to securing your finances for the future.

I live in the UK - can the Polish tax office (KAS) check me?Show answer

Yes. Thanks to the CRS system for exchanging information, Polish tax authorities can see foreign accounts. We handle matters under the Polish Fiscal Criminal Code (KKS) for Poles living in the UK, including undisclosed income and the procedure of “active repentance”.
