Facts about VAT#
- Name VAT stands for "Value Added Tax". It's a kind of tax, which is added at all production stages.
- VAT is intended to apply to consumption. The more goods you buy, the more VAT you pay.
- VAT is payed by a person who is at the end of the consumption chain, buying the product for consumption. For example, a customer buying crisps in the supermarket or the driver using the car wash.
- Formally, the same amount of VAT is also added at the each stage of the chain (supermarket, car wash, a manufacturer of chips, etc.), but in fact they only pay back tax received from the previous stage. Finally, the VAT paid by the consumer goes "from hands to hands" - through supermarket, the manufacturer of chips, potato farmer etc. - until it goes to the tax office.
- Trader, who simultaneously buys (pays VAT) and sells goods (receives VAT), doesn't really pay VAT. The amount of tax charged while buying is canceled by tax charged while selling.
- The disadvantage of VAT is that it increases social stratification - it's applied to the final consumer, so it is most noticeable to the least wealthy people. This issue is partially solved by varying tax rates for example by setting lower VAT levels to the most basic goods like bread. It's also considered that procedures for charging and collecting VAT are too complex and they allow for many forms of abuse, for example fake invoices fraud to claim back VAT which was never really paid.
CIT in Poland#
- Corporate Income Tax (CIT) is a income tax paid by legal persons.
- CIT in Poland is paid by joint-stock companies (polish: S.A.) or limited liability companies (polish: sp. z o.o.).
- The legal basis regulating the CIT in Poland is the Act of February 5, 1992 (Journal of Laws of 2019, item 865) with later changes.
- The basic CIT rate in Poland is currently 19% (as of 2019).
- In addition, from January 1, 2019, companies whose gross turnover did not exceed the equivalent of 1,2 million EUR (the so-called small taxpayers) can switch to preferential CIT rate in the amount of 9%.

PIT in Poland#
- Currently (as of 2020), taxpayers who settle on general rules are subject to the so-called tax thresholds. This means that the tax rate (percentage) depends on achieved incomes. Until September 2019, income below 85 528 PLN was taxed with 18% rate. Starting from October 2019 the rate for the first threshold was reduced to 17%. Income above this amount is taxed with 32% rate.
- ⚠ WARNING! Because the tax rates changed during the tax year, the annual settlement for income earned during 2019 should use effective 17.75% tax rate:
- The tax base (ie the amount from which the tax is calculated) is the sum of revenues obtained in a given year decreased by social insurance contributions (polish: ZUS) and costs of getting incomes.tax base = gross earnings - social insurance - cost of getting income
- There is a tax-free amount in the Poland, from which we will not pay any tax. In this case, the final tax would be slightly lower than it would appear from the tax thresholds alone.
- Before 2017 year the tax-free amount was fixed (in 2009-2016 it amounted to 3091.00 PLN) and was entitled to all taxpayers using general rules.
- Starting from 2017, the tax-free amount depends on income, in such a way that the taxpayers with very small income are fully covered, then the tax-free amount is gradually reduced as revenue increases.
- In practice, the so-called tax reduction amount is more common, when calculating income tax (PIT). This is the effective amount that should be deducted from the tax already calculated, to apply the allowance associated with the tax-free amount.
- To calculate the tax for 2019 year, use the below formula:
- in the case of income below 85 528 PLN:
tax = 17.75% × tax base - tax reduction amount
- in the case of an income of 85 528 PLN or more :
tax = 15181.22 PLN + 32% × (tax base - 85528 zł) - tax reduction amount
- in the case of income below 85 528 PLN:
- To calculate the tax for 2020 year, use the below formula:
- in the case of income below 85 528 PLN:
tax = 17% × tax base - tax reduction amount
- in the case of an income of 85 528 PLN or more :
tax = 14539.76 PLN + 32% × (tax base - 85528 zł) - tax reduction amount
- in the case of income below 85 528 PLN:
- To calculate the tax reduction amount for income earned in 2019 or 2020 year, use the following formula:
- in case of income in the amount of 8000 PLN or less:
tax reduction amount = 1420 PLN,
- in case of income from 8001 PLN to 13000 PLN:
tax reduction amount = 1420 PLN - 871.70 PLN × (tax base - 8000 zł) / 5000 zł,
- in case of income from 13001 PLN to 85528 PLN:
tax reduction amount = 548.30 PLN,
- in case of income from 85529 PLN to 127000 PLN:
tax reduction amount = 548.30 PLN - 548.30 PLN × (tax base - 85528 zł) / 41472 zł,
- in case of income above 127000 PLN there is no tax-free amount, so tax reduction amount is 0.
- in case of income in the amount of 8000 PLN or less:
⚠ WARNING! Health insurance contributions (polish: NFZ) are deducted from already calculated tax, instead of tax base like in case of other expenses.
In 2019, the tax-relief covers annual revenues up to 35636.67 PLN, and from 2020, this limit will be increased to 85528 PLN. Revenues exceeding the annual limit remain taxed using tax-scale.
