Law / Taxes (and national insurance contribution) for self-employment in Poland? [11]

Taxation is high for the self employed here. You've got nearly 1100zł/month in compulsory social insurance contribution as well as 18/32% tax or a flat rate 19% tax without being able to make deductions.

Monthly or quarterly taxes, and you'll pay VAT if you process more than roughly 150,000zł a year in invoices, then you must register for VAT.

Furthermore, you need an accountant to deal with your taxes, so that's going to be another (as a minimum, and probably higher) 150zł+VAT a month. If you want to pay over 300 Euro/month in taxes before you even earn anything, Poland's your country.

Law / British man Marrying Polish Woman in POLAND [29]


It's a piece of cake.

Go to the USC no less than 3 months before the wedding. Produce a valid Certificate of No Impediment from either your local UK registry office or the British Embassy (should be no more than 6 months old) along with a sworn translation of your birth certificate and a copy of your passport. Relax. The priest will deal with the paperwork from then on. The sworn translation might be optional - ask the USC directly.

I'm really not sure what the problem is. You've called for a protest outside the American embassy, so why aren't you registering it?

Is it because you're actually a Russian troll?

News / How would Poland change for the better (or worse) under a PiS government? [257]

[Moved from]
Another day, another example of "good, change".

This shows how the price of goods has risen since January in Poland - leaving ordinary, hard working Polish people worse off as a result of the policies enacted so far by the government. Furthermore, yesterday, the European Commission revealed that they expect Poland to have a deficit of 3.4% of GDP by the end of 2016, which would place Poland into the excessive deficit procedure and result in increased supervision by the European Union.

Of course he would say that. Meanwhile, the biggest oil company in Poland is in the hands of an ex-PZPR member.

I don't think you need to be a genius to work out that it's just yet another crude PiS smear against the opposition.

And those dreaming of the end of the EU never seem to have a good idea how to replace that cash. It seems to be all based on mythical ideas that the brightest people in Poland couldn't figure out between 1990-2004.

Never called them fascists. I've always been clear that PiS = PZPRbis.

After all, they even have their own version of Trybuna Ludu to brainwash the masses with. (well, except that circulation is laughable and barely anyone is ever seen reading it)

Beautiful, Goofy. Such a thing can only draw attention to what's happening in Poland further, especially if the police had to be involved.

You're absolutely disgusting. You're a child living in the UK, yet you think it's appropriate to abuse one of the heroes of Solidarność in such a way?

If anyone is reading this and is still in doubt why KOD matters, this is exactly the kind of hateful bile that we're demonstrating against.

And that, people, comes from a PiS supporter.

By the way Polonius, Krzywonos was there, took part in the strikes and was beaten by the authorities. Where were you?

You don't have any proof. Wałęsa is innocent until proven guilty.

The fact that you think he's guilty is neither here nor there.

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]


It's pretty much irrelevant. He's already explained the situation (that he would pay if he could, and he will as soon as he gets the money to do so) and no-one is bothered by it. The only people getting hysterical about it are the ones that were told to do so by PiS, aka PZPRbis. Such attacks on people's family lives were a trademark of Communists.


Hahahaha. You're just making up stuff now, and more to the point, it shows what kind of person you are if you have to abuse the person rather than the politics. Then again, what else can one expect from a typical PiS supporting patriot that prefers to work for foreign powers against Polish interests? ;)


Remind us which ruling party in Poland appointed an ex PZPR public prosecutor to lead the human rights commission and who now takes part in attacks on Wałęsa. Ah yes, that would be PiS.

PiS are standing exactly where ZOMO was standing, and more to the point, they're happily using the State to fight their enemies. Disgusting.

Oh Goofy, could you at least not attempt to tell the truth? Kijowski has four children.

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]


That's exactly what the PiS supporters here have been doing. Read through this thread - it's a torrent of abuse towards KOD, yet no-one seems to actually have any evidence of what they're accusing.

Either way, they always seem to get more abusive after these demonstrations. Is it fear?

News / 2016, the year of change in Poland? [70]

Don't change the topic, Goofy.

We're talking about how Poland needs real patriots like yourself to come and pay taxes, pick up litter from forests and volunteer with our children.

News / 2016, the year of change in Poland? [70]


So in other words, you're admitting that you're not a patriot at all. Don't worry Goofy, we understand that for you, British money is far more important than helping Poland. There were plenty of others like you in the past, and they have all one thing in common - they betrayed Poland for easy money. All those people that collaborated with the Soviet Union from 1945 onwards were motivated by cash, and they too thought they were patriots, just like you.

By the way, if you don't understand why picking up mess after your dog or paying taxes is patriotic, then it's exactly the reason why Poland is a dump compared to Switzerland. You'll learn one day, no doubt after someone sprays some graffiti over Grandma's walls and no local 'patriots' are willing to help her clean it.

Focus on the topic and not posters

The funniest thing is watching PiS supporters accuse KOD of being what PiS actually is. It's an old communist trick.

Goofy, instead of prattling on about the Cursed Soldiers, why don't you get off your lazy teenage behind and actually move to Poland if you want to be like them?

This country badly needs people to contribute to society - not just with taxes, but also with volunteering. You've got a PiS government and a PiS president, so there can be no excuses now. Nothing will change as long as "patriots" like you spend more time writing on the internet about patriotism than actually being patriotic.

Tell you what - in the summer holidays, I'll sort you out a placement in a project that works with children from disadvantaged backgrounds. You can come and teach them English and about Polish history, and in return, I'll sort out accommodation and food for you.

I'm serious about my offer - if you want Poland to change and to be a better place, let's do it. There's never enough people willing to work with such kids.

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]


Thing is, national heroes mean genuine freedom. PiS have no interest in freedom - their sole reason for existing is TKM, which means that they need to oppose freedom at all costs. How better to destroy freedom than to destroy the symbol of freedom?

We're already seeing how Macierewicz has invented a huge conspiracy in the defence ministry that somehow wasn't exposed by anyone (not even the PiS-controlled media) before now - and which will be used to punish innocent people. Putin would be so proud of his little protege Kaczyński.

News / 2016, the year of change in Poland? [70]


Crazy, isn't it? I still can't work out why they didn't put an upper limit on it, though the cynical view is that this is a pro-Church policy and not pro-welfare.


As long as they can produce the documents needed, they'll get the cash. Two sets of PIT returns showing 0 income will do the trick nicely. I'm just waiting for the first stories to emerge of the Polonia in the UK abusing it on a grand scale.

Olszewski was absolutely useless. You weren't even alive then, but anyone that was around then will tell you that his government was diabolically bad. They were fighting even with Olszewski's party leader (Kaczyński) and he was also completely incapable of reversing the austerity introduced. As a government, it was one of the biggest failures in Polish history.

Their own pockets.

I know it's difficult for you to understand, given that PiS received considerable loans from the SKOK network that was controlled by one of their senators, but still.

Who just so happen to be under the control of PiS and therefore will say what they're told to say. The same thing happened before when they tried to claim a ridiculously low number that wasn't backed up by the aerial footage.

Either way, the fact that the police have to openly lie says a lot about how discredited this government is already.
