Large Investment Project
Large Investment Project is a new investment of which eligible costs to be covered by public aid are higher than the value of 50 mln EUR according to The National Bank of Poland (NBP) exchange rate published on the day that the permit was granted.
A new investment that is started by the same entrepreneur or another entrepreneur from the same capital group in the period of three years from the beginning of activities on another investment covered with public aid in the same subregion distinguished on level three (NTS 3) is said to be part of this same investment.
In the condition of regional public aid granted to an entrepreneur for realisation of Large Investment Project the maximum amount of aid is set according to the equation:
I = R x (50 mln euro + 0,5 x B + 0 x C)
Where:
I – maximum amount of public aid for a Large Investment Project,
R – intensity of public aid for the region where the investment will take place,
B – the value of public aid eligible costs exceeding 50 million EUR but not higher than 100 million EUR,
C- the value of public aid eligible costs exceeding 100 million EUR.
Example no.5
Size of enterprise: large
Location: Dolnośląskie Province
Investment expernses:
| Land: | 5 000 000 EUR |

According to the equation for big investment projects
25% (50 000 000 EUR + 0,5 x 50 000 000 EUR + 0 x 5 000 000 EUR) = 75 000 000 EUR x 25% = 18 750 000 EUR
18 750 000 EUR is the value of public aid, meaning the value of not paid income tax
Income tax rate = 19%
Value of income exempt from tax: 18 750 000 EUR / 19% = 98 684 210,53 EUR
If an entrepreneur would like to get higher public aid for Large Investment Project with costs exceeding 100 million EUR that is the outcome of the equation he/she needs to obtain permission from the European Commission.
