Due to the ongoing pandemic, the past year was associated with a significant economic slowdown in Poland and in the world. It was caused, inter alia, by the introduced restrictions, which largely affected the service and trade industry. Nevertheless, our family company from Gdańsk made every effort to end this year with a good result and guarantee stable employment for its employees.
Appropriate business decisions, flexibility as well as quick and skilful adaptation to changing and, above all, difficult economic conditions allowed us to continue to successfully implement the development strategy of LPP. All this translated into our profits, and thus into a significant amount of taxes, which we transferred to the state budget. LPP is a Polish clothing company in which, despite continuous expansion and dynamic development, we remember our roots – that’s why we pay taxes in Poland.
The table below presents information on what taxes LPP paid to the Polish budget for 2021/22. It includes not only the total amount of LPP taxes – the whole has been divided in a transparent and legible way so that everyone can see the details about the amount of our individual liabilities.
The table takes into account the amounts relating to the 2021/22 financial year, i.e. for the period from 02.2021 to 01.2022.
