Hey guys,
Okay, yet another question....
I work as a 3d freelance designer creating various things for tv commercials etc. I will be coming to Poland from Australia very soon.
I wanted to know about paying tax for the self-employed. I work from my home, and when in other countries I normally just fill out a tax self-assessment once a year, and then pay the appropriate tax and/or NI contributions etc. So I need to know the following:
a. Is it a similar process in Poland?
b. Do I need to apply for a tax file number or something like that when I first arrive?
c. Do I have to register my business with a Polish government body? If so, how and with who do I do that?
d. What is the taxable percentage on my gross income?
e. Is there a system where you do not pay tax on the first amount? (for example when I lived in England I think it was something like the first £4500 was tax free, then the next £2000 was something like 10% tax, and then anything above that was taxable at 22%. However I can not remember the exact figures).
f. Also, what about paying your ZUS (which I assume is something like NI in the UK) - how do I pay that as a self-employed worker?
Sorry for all the questions, but most people I have asked so far do not know the answers.
Thank you in advance,
Ian
