Hello, everybody. I have a question on taxes. I'm in Poland via a student D-visa, I've got a meldunek, but haven't gotten a Karta Pobytu (neither permanent nor temporary). I'm working online as a freelancer. Who do I pay income taxes to, Poland or my home country? Am I considered a resident of Poland if I only have a visa or not?

Thank you.

What country do you originate from? If it's one of the ones with whom Poland has 'no double tax' agreement (meaning that you won't get taxed both in your home country and in Poland) then you would probably have to pay in Poland because your work is physicall performed in Poland.

I'm from Ukraine. We do have a "no double taxation" agreement with Poland. However my customer in the US and technically no work is performed "in Poland" and I'm probably not a resident.

all your answers should be here; paiz.gov.pl/polish_law/taxation/pit# my understanding is your in Poland for longer than 183 days a year and you earn money while here you should be paying tax in Poland
