Law / Capital Gains Tax in Poland on sale of Shares abroad [4]

Hi all

I am a polish resident, born in the UK. I've lived here for just under 3 years now. I recently sold some shares in the UK which I held in a private company, I made a capital gain on the sale of these shares and am wondering how to treat it. From a UK perspective I know unless I return I won't pay CGT, however I understand I will have to pay it in Poland. Is that the case?

If so am I right in thinking that the CGT rate is a flat 19%?

Youtube video - What advice would you give to your younger self???



Hi All,

I saw a nice video a few years ago where a group of older people were giving advice to their younger selfs/younger family members about what they should do.

Was really nice as it was a slow pace, and was subtitiled in Polish and I use to share it with people learning polish. However I changed laptops and now don't have the link. Anyone know of this video and can remind me of its name?

Thanks

This calc will help and show you the monthly net wage per month, it's based on 2015, but 2016 tax codes don't differ too much.

Life / Cost of living in Katowice, Poland [53]

@smurf
I've thought about Crime stats, I often hear foreigners tell me how safe Poland is and whilst I think that's true (it is statistically much safer than western countries), I think there is more at play here.

Unless you speak good polish and read polish newspapers and watch Polish news where crimes are often reported you don't realise that crime does exist here, statistically in most countries in west/central europe you are unlikely to witness a crime live, so I do think it's a matter of perception.

Having said that Poland is one of the safest countries in Europe :), although of course Crime does exist here like everywhere else

Best Emerging Polish Artists of 2016



Merry Xmas and a happy new year to you all.

As we close the year I thought it'd would be a great if people could reflect on the last 12 months and share any new and emerging Polish bands, artists, filmmakers etc they have found in 2016.

Particularly of interest to me is any information on good new Polish bands who've appeared this year as I often struggle to find bands I like.

Work / Salary and cost of living information - Krakow [257]

@Aksh30
If your partner/wife is also working then 20k is a very decent salary here Krakow.

Net it will be about 13.5k, which will give you enough spare to have a nice life here, given rent on top end apartment is around 3k per month,

Use this net pay calculator

Life / Moving To Krakow May (a place to live and work?) [48]

Kraków has loads going for it, lots of corporations making a job easy to find, a good standard of living and cultural life is 2nd only to Warsaw.

Great places to live here, i'd recommend in this order:

1. Podgórze - cheap, handsome tenements, on the up, close to Kazimerz, great transport links
2. Kazmierz - a bit more expensive than Podgórze but also with great transport links and closer to old town
3. Grzegorzecka area - very close to Kazmierz and Town and also handy for transport with great tram links
4. Bronowice of Krowodrza - nice places if your job takes you out that way.

Life / Cost of living in Katowice, Poland [53]

This is very sensible advice and i'd echo the point about not moving to Kato for less than 8k netto which is about 11.5k brutto

This tax calculator will help
