Not earning yet but spending from previously earned money and other Poland tax issues [22]
Dear All,
i am newcomer, seems this forum is great help for new comers to Poland!
I have couple of questions, i hope someone there can help:
1- I am foreigner, married to polish, and moved to Poland a year ago, though during this year i have been in and out for various job interviews abroad, and for some academic conferences being myself an academic, and also for visiting my family back home. All this year, i have been spending money from my bank account out of Poland via my credit card, using local atm machine; this money is what i have earned in the last 3 to 5 years before coming to Poland. Do i have to pay any taxes to Poland other than the usual VAT?
2- I don't have NIP yet, is that a problem in my case with no job yet in Poland? will they ask me later about that, i mean when times come to apply for permanent residency ?
3- I receive some money from my family abroad sent to my account abroad, and i could get this through my foreign credit card via poland atm; any income taxes due to pay? will they come to me after a year and ask me how i am getting money, and how i am surviving? and is it ok if i am withdrawing from a foreign account in another country via atm machine in poland?
4- Meanwhile, i might get a job contract signed (crossing fingers!!) within the coming month, as i just had successful interview in dubai. In such a case, if i will start working for them by travelling back and forth, do i need to pay tax in Poland for the income earned abroad?
5- Lastly, i am thinking about another alternative-in case no contract signed, which is to open an offshore company in my country backhome, and try to get some marketing and hopefully some private clients (i teach and work in interior design). If i succeed in gettting some clients out of poland (i am planing to market it within the middle east), and i prepare their design work at my home in poland, will i need to pay taxes in poland in case i will earn?
...sorry for all these questions, but any answer will be a great help.
Thanks!
