Tax break for US Citizen teaching in Poland

17 Sep 2008 / #1

Greetings everyone!

I have just recently moved from the US to Poland and have found work as a English teacher. I was told by a friend that had worked here previously that teachers from the US get some kind of tax break in Poland for the first 2 years....is this true? I can't find any information on it but would love the answer to be yes :) If anyone can assist me, that would be fantasticzna.

Dzięki bardzo!
John

He probalby ment when running own business, being "self-employed" in this case... then for the first 2 years ZUS is much lower.
