Current and historical tax facts
PIT-37 and PIT-38 prepared in Twój e-PIT were subject to automatic acceptance at the end of 30 April 2026 where the applicable conditions were met; PIT-28, PIT-36 and PIT-36L were not automatically accepted and required taxpayer action.
Official source: KAS / podatki.gov.plOfficial source: KAS / podatki.gov.plAfter 30 April, a tax return can still be corrected within the limitation period; the official Twój e-PIT FAQ states correction is possible up to the expiry of the limitation period, generally described there as five years from the end of the year in which the tax liability arose.
Official source: KAS / podatki.gov.plThe official refund timeframe stated for post-deadline PIT is 45 days for electronically filed returns and 3 months for paper returns, subject to the rules governing the particular refund.
Official source: KAS / podatki.gov.plPolish tax residence for an individual is based on either having the centre of personal/economic interests in Poland or staying in Poland more than 183 days in the tax year; treaty tie-breaker rules may change the final residence result when two states claim residence.
Official source: podatki.gov.plOfficial source: podatki.gov.plHistorical tax-year information: The special Ukraine-related statement described in the 2026 KAS guide confirms the centre of interests in Poland for the period 1 January–31 December 2025; it must not be silently extended into 2026 without a current legal source.
Official source: KAS / podatki.gov.plA Polish tax resident generally reports worldwide income subject to the applicable double-taxation treaty; a non-resident generally reports Polish-source income where required. Foreign employment income uses treaty-specific exemption-with-progression or proportional-credit methods.
Official source: podatki.gov.plPrivate rental outside business activity is taxed only by registered-revenue lump sum from 2023; the current rates are 8.5% up to 100,000 PLN annual revenue and 12.5% above that, with a 200,000 PLN 8.5% threshold for qualifying spouses under joint property who elect taxation by one spouse.
Official source: podatki.gov.plFor non-business real-estate disposal, the five-year PIT rule is counted from the end of the calendar year of acquisition/building; inherited property uses the decedent's acquisition/building year for that calculation.
Official source: podatki.gov.plThe nearest-family inheritance/gift exemption generally requires SD-Z2 within six months when the statutory reporting exemption does not apply; the current official page lists a 36,120 PLN five-year threshold below which SD-Z2 reporting is not required for the exemption and additional documentation conditions for monetary gifts.
Official source: podatki.gov.plFrom 7 January 2026, Polish inheritance/gift tax rules allow restoration of the SD-Z2 reporting deadline in defined cases where the taxpayer shows the delay occurred without fault; the request is filed within seven days after the reason for delay ceases together with SD-Z2.
Official source: KAS / podatki.gov.plOfficial source: podatki.gov.plTax certificates requested through e-Urząd Skarbowy or the e-US app are currently issued without stamp duty; paper/e-Delivery applications may carry 21 PLN for no-arrears/arreas-state certificates and 17 PLN for other listed certificates including a tax-residence certificate.
Official source: podatki.gov.plPIT/CIT/VAT payments use the taxpayer's tax micro-account; the proper identifier is generally PESEL for a non-business, non-VAT individual and NIP for a business/VAT taxpayer or tax/social-contribution payer.
Official source: podatki.gov.plOfficial source: podatki.gov.ple-Urząd Skarbowy supports, among other services, tax certificates, overpayment requests, payment-allocation explanations, instalment applications and active-regret submissions; DryRights should route to official transactional services rather than collect sensitive tax documents itself.
Official source: podatki.gov.plThe child tax relief depends on the type of taxed income and family/child conditions; it must not be presented as universally available solely because a person has a child.
Official source: podatki.gov.plThe return relief applies only when statutory conditions are met after moving tax residence to Poland after 31 December 2021; returning to Poland by itself is not sufficient.
Official source: podatki.gov.plSale of shares and taxable cryptocurrency transactions are generally reported in PIT-38 under the current individual PIT framework; crypto-to-crypto exchange itself is not treated as a taxable disposal on the current official cryptocurrency page.
Official source: podatki.gov.plOfficial source: podatki.gov.plConsumers meeting the statutory conditions can access a basic payment account; EU rules protect the right of legally resident consumers to a basic payment account subject to AML and other lawful refusal grounds. This right is not a general right to every type of bank account.
