Genealogy / Richert, Bonkoska from Jasień, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship [8]

Hi, I got short information on the site of the village "Jasień" about German people which settled down in Jasień Budy.
They started living and working there as a farmers since 20's of XIX Centaury. Seems to me it is the knowledge you've already had before. I'm very impress by your study. As a young boy somewhere between Rypin, Sierpc and Lipno a hearted many times about German settlers or even German villages but at that time I was not interested in it.

Good luck in your searching.

"W latach dwudziestych XIX w. w Jasieniu Budach osiedlili się koloniści niemieccy, którzy byli wyrobnikami właścicieli Jasienia.
Dokładnej ich liczby nie udało się ustalić. Przypuszczalnie była to kolonia dość duża, o czym świadczą dość częste zapisy narodzin dzieci w Jasieniu Budach, zapisane w księgach metrykalnych w latach 1827-1838 i późniejszych, w ewangelickiej parafii w Lipnie, do której należeli koloniści."

Real Estate / Are Mortgage brokers licenced in Poland? Can anyone become an real estate agent? [18]

in polish reality you can't expect more than simple information, they often forget to tell you about some disadvantages

Real Estate / Are Mortgage brokers licenced in Poland? Can anyone become an real estate agent? [18]

Dear Maluch, since 1st January 2014 real estate agents do not need license. They must have only insurance for what they do professional.
Polish civil code is the general regulation for this matter. Why are you so sarcastic about them ? One of them sell your real estate for nothing or take your money and do nothing ?

Law / Possible prospects of gaining Polish Citizenship (grandfather heritage)? [11]

In your situation it would be rather difficult. Seems to me you can try do it by sending the special application to the President of the Republic of Poland.

Important is the fact, you grandfather has Polish citizenship and fight in polish forces.
But your chances will be bigger if you find documents which can proof that what you write is true.

Law / New Poland law -- old car insurer obligated to continue insurance on a vehicle that is between renewals? [23]

InWroclaw do you have a car which is registered in RP and car's OC insurance ? When will be or was the end of your OC insurance ?

For example when your OC car's possessor insurance ( polisa OC ) ends on 8th February 2014 and you will not write to your insurance company that you don't want to renew it for the next period, you get the new OC insurance for next 12 months. It will happen just by the law I mentioned before. Your insurance company must receive your statement no later than one day before last day of your insurance. In this case on 7th February.

This insurance is obligatory in RP. If you don't have it the fine would be 3360 zł.

Law / New Poland law -- old car insurer obligated to continue insurance on a vehicle that is between renewals? [23]

It's about OC ( civil responsibility of car's possessor ). After the 12 months insurance contract will be another 12 months OC insurance even you do nothing.

Sometimes will be different if you didn't pay whole fee of the last 12 months OC insurance or by bankruptcy of your insurance company.
Your insurance company must send you OC conditions within 14 days since the beginning of new insurance period.

Act of 22th May 2003 about obligatory insurances ....
.... .
In Polish:
Art. 28. 1. Jeżeli posiadacz pojazdu mechanicznego nie później niż na jeden dzień przed upływem okresu 12 miesięcy, na który umowa ubezpieczenia OC posiadaczy pojazdów mechanicznych została zawarta, nie powiadomi na piśmie zakładu ubezpieczeń o jej wypowiedzeniu, uważa się, że została zawarta następna umowa na kolejne 12 miesięcy, z zastrzeżeniem ust. 2.

1a. W razie zawarcia umowy, o której mowa w ust. 1, zakład ubezpieczeń jest obowiązany potwierdzić zawarcie umowy dokumentem ubezpieczenia w terminie 14 dni od dnia jej zawarcia.

2. Zawarcie następnej umowy nie następuje, pomimo braku powiadomienia, o którym mowa w ust. 1, jeżeli:
1) nie została opłacona w całości określona w umowie składka za mijający okres 12 miesięcy lub w przypadku cofnięcia zakładowi ubezpieczeń zezwolenia na wykonywanie działalności ubezpieczeniowej w zakresie obowiązkowego ubezpieczenia OC posiadaczy pojazdów mechanicznych albo

2) w przypadku ogłoszenia upadłości zakładu ubezpieczeń, ogłoszenia lub zarządzenia likwidacji zakładu ubezpieczeń albo oddalenia wniosku o ogłoszenie upadłości lub umorzenia postępowania upadłościowego, w przypadku, o którym mowa w art. 98 ust. 2.

Thanks InWroclaw. I will see through these possibilities.

Real Estate / Looking to buy property in Poland - understanding the different types of ownership! [10]

First of all I need to say the translation and the way someone use it can easly misleads you. In Poland according to flat the most popular is normal ownership ( odrębne prawo własności). Such flat must to have its own register estate ( księga wieczysta ). But similar to it and very popular too is owner's right to flat in the housing association ( spółdzielcze własnościowe prawo do lokalu). This second only sometimes has its own register estate, but seller need to have certificate from the housing association. So you don't need to know the meaning of the term cooperative ownership in advertisement but in real case.

Anyway you need to be careful what you bay and from whom. My suggestion is you need the lawyer service or your risk would be bigger especially in Warsaw.

Law / How to get a private NIP number in Poland (for a foreigner) ? [28]


OK. Your are right.

Law / How to get a private NIP number in Poland (for a foreigner) ? [28]


You have to ask your accountant, but I would say yes. If not, these invoices would be invalid and your taxes will be higher. I suppose you run "działalność gospodarcza". There are different ways for how to pay income tax and in relation to this different kind of documentation you need to have :

1) bases is - "książka przychodów i rozchodów" - percentage of your profit,
2) "karta podatkowa", you pay constant tax -
3) "ryczałt ewidencjonowany" - you pay percentage of what you take - costs are not important
Taxes rules in Poland there are very complicated and very changeable.
And the good and reasonable accountant is the most important you need.

Law / Does Poland encourage theft? [8]

It is just misunderstanding. The theft under 400 zł is forbidden as well but not according to penal code but "kodeks wykroczeń" which is about trifling offences.

No 119 KW

Art. 119. § 1. Kto kradnie lub przywłaszcza sobie cudzą rzecz ruchomą, jeżeli jej wartość nie przekracza 1/4 minimalnego wynagrodzenia ( since 1st. Junuary 2014 - 420 zł ),
podlega karze aresztu, ograniczenia wolności albo grzywny.
