Law / Does a normal Polish citizen working from Polish home need to pay tax for foreign works? [23]

Dear Fellows,

i am a French engineer living in Tunisia,where i have my small engineering office; i know a young polish engineer who studied in Tunisia, and who has done in the past an internship at my studio for half a year; it was a successful experience for both parties. He finnished his studies 2 years ago.

So now, I am planing to hire him but as a freelancer and not a full time employee, to do some engineering and drafting works for me, but he is planing to go for a year or 2 to Poland to see his parents, as he never been there since he was 8 years old (he is now 27).Still, i will ask his services while he is in Poland.

My question is: if he is neither officially employed by me, nor a self employed in Poland (as he does not live there but he holds the polish citizenship), can he do the free lanc work to me from distance while being in his flat in Poland, and without paying any local income tax in Poland?

Thanks.

Ok,thanks for all feedback.

Let 's say he will stay not only 185 days, but 365 days,either with his family or renting a flat, but still he does not earn money from any local company/employer/bank or whatsoever local party, but only my payment sent through any medium from Tunisia: then he has nothing to claim at all, so no taxes at all. Correct?

PS: regarding insurance, i guess i agree with terri about paying privately the insurance, no prob ab that.

You can ommit the expression " normal", i simply meant that he is not neither employed by a company, nor self employed (though this does not mean that an abnormal is so). Anyway, just ommit it, we are not going to debate linguistic, it was a mistake.

By the way, is it a must to pay his social taxes (as delphiandomine stated)? does he need it? or he can simply manage with a private insurance company?

And what about if the money is sent by western union as millions of people in the world do so? paypal ? online transfering ? cash via post?... then no bank needed, then no taxation needed.
