Law / TAX ON DEPOSIT INTEREST IN POLAND [4]

I am from Ireland but living in Lodz. Love the place.

Anyhow, I have bank accounts with ING here and they are quoting 3.25% on Euro deposits.

Do you know if Polish banks deduct tax from the rates they quote or what hte tax situation is generally?

Thanks

Law / Exchange €2000 to PLN what is best way? [11]

Hi,

I have to go to Poland for a month and I estimate I need €2,000 worth of PLN.

Is it best to exchange the € in Poland or in Ireland or best to use Irish debit card at an ATM in Lodz?

Thanks!

Brilliant reply. And thanks for the awakening.

No I dont, particularly your "gal's".

UK, Ireland / Irish Student Locating to Lodz - Can I bring Irish Car? [9]

Hi,

I am going to Lodz i September.

Can I bring my Irish car?
Do I need to re-register it and it is complicated / expensive if I do?
Will I have to get it tested, taxed and insured in Poland or will my Irish insurance do?

Also....
