Rafał Brzoska attacks the competition. He unveiled his "list of shame"

• Foreign courier companies were to pay nearly PLN 90 million in corporate income tax in Poland last year, according to calculations by the Kraków-based company InPost.
• InPost alone paid PLN 375 million in CIT in 2024.
• Tax evasion is not only unfair, it also means billions in losses for the entire country, says Rafał Brzoska, CEO of InPost.

This is another year that InPost has published its "courier industry list of shame." The Krakow-based company's calculations show that "all foreign direct competitors," meaning foreign courier companies operating in Poland, paid a total of PLN 89.8 million in corporate income tax (CIT) in Poland in 2024. Meanwhile, InPost reports that during this time it paid PLN 375 million in CIT on PLN 9.85 billion in revenue. Year-on-year, the CIT paid by Rafał Brzoska's company increased by PLN 125 million – from PLN 250 million in 2023.

The company also emphasizes that the tax amounted to 3.8% of revenue. "This is once again a record amount in the company's history," the company emphasizes.

Rafał Brzoska takes aim at DHL

In a video posted on social media, Rafał Brzoska devotes most of his attention to the logistics company DHL. As the CEO of InPost says, "Polish companies of the German company DHL paid PLN 20.2 million in corporate income tax on PLN 5.5 billion in revenue," or 0.4% of their revenue.

Meanwhile, DHL eCommerce, a direct competitor to InPost, with revenues of PLN 2.814 billion, paid zero PLN of corporate income tax in 2024, Brzoska emphasizes.

Globally, the DHL Group paid PLN 6 billion in taxes, of which Poland accounted for only 0.3%. Meanwhile, Polish revenues accounted for 1.3% of the group's global revenues, InPost said in its press release.

Calculations presented by InPost show that DPD, on PLN 4.6 billion in revenue, paid PLN 30.4 million in corporate income tax (0.7%). GLS, on PLN 1.4 billion in revenue, paid PLN 34.3 million in corporate income tax (2.5%). Fedex, on PLN 1.7 billion in revenue, paid PLN 4.9 million in corporate income tax (0.3%).

There is no data available regarding UPS. According to InPost, the company has not yet filed its 2024 financial statements with the National Court Register (KRS), which constitutes a violation of applicable Polish regulations.

For PLN 375 million – the amount of CIT paid by InPost in 2024 – the company calculated that it would be possible to finance:

• 2 Polish industrial satellites SAT-AIS-PL,
• 194 FlyEye drones,
• 1,875 playgrounds,
• 125 eagles,
• 39,000 annual 800+ benefits,
• 468 modern ambulances,
• 557 km of bicycle paths,
• annual budget of a large hospital.

Tax evasion is not only unfair, it means billions in losses for the entire country. I have no doubt that Polish e-commerce companies that favor foreign courier companies that don't pay tax here are completely out of line," says Rafał Brzoska in a video posted on social media.

He also questions Polish politicians from left to right. "How long will the Polish tax system treat foreign competitors better than Polish companies? How long will the Polish authorities allow people to simply avoid paying taxes in Poland, to the detriment of all of us, of society as a whole?" Brzoska asks.

It also declares that in other markets where InPost operates, it pays taxes locally and does not transfer profits to Poland.
