Work / My friend is looking for a job in Poland with a physics degree [32]

rygar

Thank you for your link which says by the way - " A little Polish company you've never heard of is beating the tech titans in a key technology of the 21st century" .

It is another proof how western society is illl informed about the state of Poland as a country or its people , repeating the same worn out patterns promoted by Zionist media .

No wonder Polish HR are not impressed by US diploma`s holders . As far as we know in Poland the simple fact is - maybe Polish science is underfunded but if we have such brains as those young team of Ammono we are ready for a great progress.. OP has got no idea about Poland and its people claiming the US schools superiority over Polish and especially its graduates especially in science .

News / More anti Polish sentiment in western media ("Apple is worth more than Poland") [110]

twitter.com/#!/DavidGoldmanCNN

You can read more comments about his stupid article and how he handles this case .

His answer to some postter " look, you want to hate me for making a silly comparison, hate me. But can we leave the anti-Semetic remarks out of it, commenters? Thanks." It seems that he admits his brainless comparison .

News / More anti Polish sentiment in western media ("Apple is worth more than Poland") [110]

The article is obviously biased because it is not even true , because Poland`s anual GDP is over 500 bilion , so mentioning about Poland in this article says something about its author . Why did he compare stock value to annual GDP . It iseems that from financial perspective both numbers have nothing in common .

It also seems very ridiculous to compare a country`s yearly GDP having known that The Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE), Polish: Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie, has a capitalization of € 220 bln (as of April 2011)[1]., which even makes far more in USD . I am sure that if they wanted to capitalize its stocks they would go bancrupt within days with worthless papers . Remember that stock is just only a kind of paper which is very sensitive to the market like nothing else . Polish stock market value does not make our contry strong but its capital .

I agree with OP that the artice follows the trend some newspapers promote .I am not even surprised , just check the roots of David Goldman - the author ..........

Law / Dying in Poland - Inheritance tax ? [62]

Good luck to you.

Thanks .

If you read some replies I get you would know how desesitsed I could bacome and only because I go through a similar rough way of court battles , lols , on daily basis I could handle this " nice " treatement here. But seriously I am a very assertive person with a very high self- esteem , I wouldn`t become an advocate otherwise .

Going back to the topic I would never give any advice if I was not 100% sure of its proper legal contents . Some advocates specialize in certain law branches , but tax and corporate law are my branches :).

Law / Dying in Poland - Inheritance tax ? [62]

if you had replied in a more civilized manner then maybe it would have turned our differently.

I would do it if it was another poster but these two ( you know who ) do not deserve civilized way of treatment.

anyone seeking legal advice to by all means go to a long established Lawyer with a proven record, but for gods sake check the information yourself as well to be sure of the information, after all it's not that hard.

I recommend it too,There are different kinds of lawyers in Poland ( advocates - with the highest level of professionalism , then come solicitors and as last regular lawyers . I am an advocate and I was willing to help some people here on PF just because I like helping people and this idea makes me feel good ( it is my way of pro bono work ) , but since some posters are so hateful and insult me on every possible occasion I will not do it anymore .

I said was correct and not wrong information but told in layman's terms.

Agreed !

Law / Dying in Poland - Inheritance tax ? [62]

I am sorry but you misunderstood the whole concept of this loophole .

to say that half of this money I give to my wife, if I do not do this I am still liable to tax on the inheritance.

The notary act was signed to allow the whole money you pay on a morgage to be exempted from this tax . If you didn`t sign a notary act of increasing marital community of goods then you could only deduct half of the money you two pay on the mortgage - just your share of mortgage . The system assumes that each of spouses pays a half of the mortgage , so if you want to appropriate money on the mortgage you can do it on half of the mortgage . The other half is assumed to be paid by your wife , so you have to sign a notary act to let her use the inheritance money to appropriate it on her share of mortgage .

The whole concept of this this loophole ( one of few ) allows married couples to avoid paying inheritance taxes if they appropriate the inheritance money on their own house expeditures , which includes : mortgage, buying a house or a flat , constructing ,modernizing or renovating it . It is a way of promoting by the state the inverstment rather than consumption of inherited money .

Law / Dying in Poland - Inheritance tax ? [62]

This is what I said :

The mutual agreement between Poland and UK about the avoidance of double taxation does not pertain the inheritance tax .

You said something like that :

So I am sorry but posters 7 is totally wrong as there is NO shared aggreement on inheritance between Poland and the UK.


First thing I don`t fully understand what you wanted to say , in the first place . But I think you said exactly the same thing as I said

Second thing is the fact that you didnt pay taxes because a some mutual agreement exists between Poland and UK, but there is a provision in Polish tax system giving a possibility for some people who pay for their house ( mortgages etc ) to deduct money spend on such purposes , within a period of 2 years from the date of receiving the inheritance money . So , there are certain provisions in Polish Law that some people can use to avoid paying taxes , it happens in case of spending money on house mortgage or construction.

The OP havent said anything like investing his money on his house , thats why I have not mentioned about this possibility .
And also the important matter is that inherited money came from a sold house , because there are loopholes designed for house purchasing , renovation or construction where the Polish taxman is given more oportunities .

But I see that some posters who gave totally false and outdated information about our tax system were given more credit than me ,and you, ukpolska discredited me citing my post nb 7 - which contains true information - not noticing that I gave a detailed information about the tax issue questioned by OP , but only commenting that I was wrong - still don`t know whre I was wrong , I can only say that I will never give any legal information here on this forum , because it is not worth to help anyone for the price of being called a prostitute or someone like that for no reason or being called other slurs constantly by some wordy but ignorant people .

Law / Dying in Poland - Inheritance tax ? [62]

I did, you didn't and your posts are unhelpful.

In this case my post was based on law but yours was not helpful from just one important reason , it was an answer without any legal contents informing OP it was legal to make a transfer of inherited money from UK to Poland because such money is no longer inheritance , which is totally false . The financial advisors could tell you something like that but of course you didn`t understand them in full . Sending such money the way you did was only a circumventiom of law . They certainly didn`t give such advice on paper because it is illegal to give legal advice which is contrary to law .

I am leaving all your other comments without any answer because I don`t argue with fools .

Look at my answer , I said that before you , Mr . Just look at my posts

This is what I said :

To the OP - don`t transfer the money to Poland if you can`t fill out the form I was talking about , then you will avoid paying taxes here.

If you have nothing to say , don`t say it , you two are constantly abusing me , but I don`t pay too much attention to IT , because everybody here knows who you are . You are just full of hate , nothing else . It happens that I have a lot of work in my office , that`s why I frequently sit at the computer writting documents to the court . So, from time to time I have an opportunity to write something on PF . As you can check I started writting my posts last year contrary to both of you who have been sitting here for ages .

Law / Dying in Poland - Inheritance tax ? [62]

Polish tax system does not make inquiries where the taxpayer intends to spend the money , what matters is the original source of it .

Even interns can tell us that the tax office say otherwise.

Very funny indeed !

Where have you read that in ? Reader`s Digest ?

You know it takes 5 years of uni and 4 yesrs of intern training to become an advocate in Poland , which I completed so maybe give up your insane claims and stop pretending to know something about Polish law , you are plain ignorant in that area . You possess a hillybilly wisdom about Poland so your comments sound very funny to me .

Law / Dying in Poland - Inheritance tax ? [62]

That's the difference which you doin't seem to understand, Monia.

It seems that you dont understand the whole idea of law . It is not the way you want to be , but it is always the way the state wants , and it is constructed the way in order to take as much money as the state can . All money in circulation is taxed , don`t you know . It happens in eg turnover tax which is callled VAT . The subject of taxation is the same only the tax payer changes . It is very similar with inheritance tax . The subject of this tax is always the same omount of money ( inheritance ) , estate .....- doesn`t matter how you call it ( in Polish we call it inheritance ) only the taxpayer changes . Polish law is constructed in the same way as other countries law . Check the similarities . There is a lot of them . The Dutch law regarding inheritance taxes is very similar .

Can`t you read the Polish law called - inheritance tax law (translated via Google):

Pursuant to Article 2 of the Act of July 28, 1983. on inheritance and donation tax in Poland...

it says clearly it must be paid in Poland if you are a Polish Tax resident , which means if you pay taxes in Poland ,

Poland and Uk signed mutual agreement about avoidance of double taxation only in regards of taxes like personal income tax , corporation tax and capital gains tax .

Give me a break I will not answer to your repetitive false statements .

Don`t worry - my clients return to me with pleasure .

Law / Dying in Poland - Inheritance tax ? [62]

I don`t have to be accountant , The Tax law is a part of legal system so I am the one to interprete it , not an accountant . Accountants only follow the rules which are written in Accountancy Law, don`t you understand what it is written in previous posts especially about the obligation of paying taxes from money earned or inherited in another country .

To the OP - don`t transfer the money to Poland if you can`t fill out the form I was talking about , then you will avoid paying taxes here . This will happen not because you are exempt from paying them but because the Polish Tax office will not find out about the obligation , but if you transfer the money the whole procedure might be started .

Law / Dying in Poland - Inheritance tax ? [62]

Dear OP I am a Polish lawyer , so don`t pay attention to what this Harry says , please .

It doesnt matter if you can be exempt from paying taxes in UK , if you are a subject of Polish legal system ( Polish Tax resident ) it means that you are fully a Polish Tax payer . Polish inheritance Law has got very different rules of the tax exemptions than those which are constituted under the British law . But there are some , eg you are the first group heir and under the Polish inheritance law you are exempt from paying taxes no matter how much you inherited ) the sum is not important . So you need only fo fill out a special form at the tax office and then you will get an official decision about the tax exemption . But if you don˛t submit that form you will be obliged to pay. I don`t know the exact date of your inheritance , because under the Polish legal system , the form SD-Z1 must be filled out within one month period after you inherited the inheritance rights ( here in Poland after the court decision became final or after you signed a notary act of inheritance ) I don`t know it under the British Law , so I can`t tell you if that date is exceeded.

tax has already been paid in the UK, there is no tax liability in Poland.

No, you are wrong !!!! Don`t give false information if you dodn`t know anything about the Polish Tax Law !!!!!

Why don`t you go to the Tax Office and ask , they will inform you or you can write a letter to the Izba Skarbowa with formal question and you will get a binding interpretation .

But here is the Law about your case :

Polska zawarła jednak z niektórymi państwami umowy w sprawie unikania podwójnego opodatkowania w zakresie podatków od spadków, np. z Węgrami, Austrią.Umowy takie szczegółowo regulują wyłączenie spadku spod podwójnego opodatkowania, są jednak rzadkością.

It says if you are not a Polish citizen but only a permanent resident so called Polish Tax resident you are a subject of Polish inheritance law and obliged to pay:

Pursuant to Article 2 of the Act of July 28, 1983. on inheritance and donation tax acquisition of ownership of goods located abroad or property rights carried out abroad (eg in Germany) is subject to tax if at the time of opening the inheritance (death of the testator), the buyer was a Polish citizen or had his permanent residence in the territory of the Republic of Poland (Polish tax resident).

However, Poland has reached agreements with some countries on the avoidance of double taxation in the area of ​​inheritance taxes, for example with Hungary, Austria. These agreements specifically regulate the exclusion of the double taxation, but they are rare.

Life / Polish Folk Music [30]

my father used to sing a polish folk song - something about doing nothing, nothing all day long, and I can't remember the words.

This is a folk song written in a style of Krakowiak -Polish folk dance , called - "Abośmy to jacy tacy" , about a Cracovian men wearing dandified folk costume with navy blue knee long jackets and red caps adorned with peackock feathers and full of colorful ribbons .

Love / Woman tells of escape after allegedly buried Kasprak and Borys, both Polish nationals [25]

It would be changed as we don`t have a penalty of 20 years of improsonment in Polish Penal Code . They could get a penalty of 8-15 or 25 or life imprisonment according to the Polish Penal Code . Judging from the circumstances and the fact that Polish courts treat criminals in a very lenient way ,most probably , they would be sentenced to 8-10 years of imprisonment . So I would strongly recommend to apply for serving the penalty within the Polish penitentiary system .

BTW they showed no remorses during the announcement of the sentence , then I would give them max .

Travel / BIG LESSON (I visited and was threatened in Poland) [71]

Yes I am so prejudiced against Poles...

Open your eyes Polmed.

Open your eyes yourself . Corruption happens everywhere , look at the statistics . This thread is about a scam artist , alleged to of be Polish descent not about corruption . But the biggest scammers are not Polish as you may know .

Wake up Wedle , we are the nation of honest people .
Read the stories about Madoff , please, about the greatest scammer of all. Surprisingly he is the son of Jewish parents , Lehman Brothers ( scammers who cheated on honest , hard working Americans due to their creative bookkeeping activities ) . They are the real big time scammers .And at last one would ask if speculating with money is honest ? Is this investment bank sought to ruin our country???? Yesterday Goldman Sachs announced that it no longer wishes to participate in the speculative game on the weakening of Polish zloty . Maybe it was said after the announcement made by the European Council and The World Bank that these institutions will no longer remain passive in tolerating speculation by such financial institutions in Poland and other countries in our region.

Yesterday Goldman Sachs`s spokesman said about changing their attitudes to the Polish currency. Maybe it is just a new game to be started ?

If sometimes few Polish try to get bribes it does not prove that we are dishonest as a whole nation . Other claims are only a proof you are just prejudiced against Poles . Stop doing that , please .

This story is not true and moreover Arab people in general opinion ( at least in Poland ) are considered to be the least honest people . There are only few Arabs who have businesses in Poland , this shows that we don`t like doing business with them .

Despite the fact that they came from Austria-Hungary and not Poland?

It is meaningless to this thread what you have stated and don`t play fool, please

Is this patriotic feeling a normal one?

I would search for your answer somwhere else, because this forum is overtaken by non -Polish posters ( among them the most active are Jews ) for whom Polish patriotism is a form of disease .

For me the answer to your question - yes it is normal and the vast majority of Polish people is highly patriotic .

As a Polish American I am glad you post here.

In my opinion, you give an articulate and balanced view on Poland.

Thank you . I highly appreciate your comments you post on PF .

why do you dress like an aging tart?

Where is it shown ? The dress I wear is in green , made of silk . Are silk green dresses a synonymus of tarts in UK ? Do you think I should wear my suits in subdued colours for parties . Are English women always so jealous and bitter when they see attractive woman . Polish women are not ashamed of their look . All business women I know wear such dresses for parties . Your comments about my look is unsubstantial .

I visited Canada many times and also I have lived there for some time , So I can say about Ontario , NF, BC .

Everybody has got his preferences , I have got mine too.

Nobody including me claims that Poland has got hot climate , we live in a moderate climate with mild summers and not so harsh winters . I don`t like hot climates .

May I make some short digression ? I would never choose a country to live by the type of a climate , for me there are other factors which are more important .

Child... hmm you're right... it's actually a brilliant way of describing someone who's aged with fvck-all grace :D

What an in depth conclusion.

You know Flagless I am still young , but I think if you claim something opposite it may indicate that you may suffer from SPS :D.

mentalhelp.net/poc/view_doc.php?type=doc&id=24026

Depression, hopelessness, cognitive rigidity, suicidality,.These men are angry. They are angry withthemselves (expressed as self hatred and depression), and with women.

Going back to the topic :
it needs to be insane to claim that dealing with -45 ᴼ C is easier than living in Poland with average temperatures circulating around -6 in the winter time. Additionally there is no wind chill factor here as it is in Canada with its vast plains stretching on the northern part of the entire country.

ec.gc.ca/meteo-weather/default.asp?lang=n&n=5FBF816A-1

Canadians are well aware of how much misery the wind chill can add to an already frigid day in winter. Knowing the wind chill is in fact an essential part of Canada's weather forecasts, as it provides everyone with the knowledge they need in order to stay safe in our worst weather.

For example, if the wind chill is -20 while the outside temperature is only -10°C, it means that your face will feel as cold as if it was a calm day (no wind) with a temperature of -20° C.

A recent survey indicated that 82 per cent of Canadians use wind chill information to decide how to dress before going outside in the winter. Many groups and organizations also use the wind chill index to regulate their outdoor activities.

In Toronto it is so cold in the wintertime that it is almost unbearable to take a walk in the park the wind chills the temperature more than 10 degrees down.

So if you compare our climate it is far better to live here than in Canada.
