News / What does Poles think of European superstate? [48]


Yeah, because without blessed EU... what would happen ? Gerries would invade someone again ? So how come putting the same Gerries (as that what "super state" will be) in charge of the whole continent would be so super cool ? You EUnuchs and your logic.

Law / How much do Polish people actually pay in taxes? [12]


That is correct but in case of employees, who carry out work in Poland, there's no doubt where their "base" is, while in case of let's say German or British retired people, who rent/own some property in Spain or Portugal, where is their "base" ? Who can tell If they spend 200 days a year in Germany and 165 in Portugal or the other way around.

Here it is in case of PL/Swiss -> przepisy.gofin.pl/przepisy,4,15,82,178,,,konwencja-miedzy-rzeczapospolita-polska-a.html -> Art. 4, point 2 c)

Law / How much do Polish people actually pay in taxes? [12]


That's a good question, in theory all the income (including foreign retirement) should be taxed in Poland (18/32%) but as far as I'm aware there are 2 more issues:

1. Bilateral agreements between countries on avoiding double taxation.
2. If you are living in both countries, a bit here a bit there (or at least can claim so) and it's not possible to prove where your "primary residency" is, then goes the citizenship rule - you pay taxes only in the country which you are a citizen of.

So I think there's a chance you won't have to pay any income tax here but it would be good to confirm that with some tax professional and If I were you, I would rather pay to get that on paper just in case.

USA, Canada / Will a Bachelor's degree from Poland be recognized by an American university? [5]

When I was writing my post, it was merged with another, much more general topic... so apparently this topic was first merged with another one and then... un-merged....

USA, Canada / Will a Bachelor's degree from Poland be recognized by an American university? [5]

These days people, who want to study anything/anywhere should first of all think why they really want to get that diploma... Univ level education became so common that only top 1% of "universities" make any impression on employers, on the other hand in vast majority of cases you won't even get to the interview phase without having a sort of degree... I think a good approach would be getting a degree the easiest possible way and invest saved time into either learning something actually useful or getting some work experience...

A "clown degree" + Chinese or Arabic would get you much farther than a "good" degree.

Work / Szczecin - 10.000 Gross salary for a couple with child [7]

For employees there are two income tax rates - it depends on the sum of annual income. With that salary I think you will reach the higher rate near the end of the year. But If your wife won't work or will have low income, you can avoid it.

Childish nonsense as usual. There obviously is a difference between describing how the state institutions "worked" and giving interviews to foreign press saying that "Poland is full of xenophobia and anti-semitism" which "Adaś" did again and again. He's an enemy within.

News / Adam Michnik awarded for integrity, professionalism and high standards. Poland's No. 1 fascist? [321]


I hate him because he played a key role in securing the safe landing for high level commies after the fall of PRL and that's not only a historical issue, it lead to terrible pathologies and the effects are still here in the friggin 2016. I hate him because he is a nasty propagandist. I hate him because he hates anything patriotic and push forward the nastiest version of liberalism.

There are decent Jews too (Wildsteins for instance) and I have always thought highly of Israel, I think in many areas that should be a role model for Poland. Diaspora Jews tend to be a different matter as they play a significant role in pushing liberal madness, multi cult etc. upon both Europe and America. Let's be honest, If I hated him because he's a Jew, I would say that.

I could agree with that somehow but let's be honest, If Harold or another "expat" opened yet another thread about some black dude, who visited Poland and now cry because people were "staring at him" or somethin, you would likely be there screaming racism.

News / Why has the US dollar reached almost 3.99 zł in Poland? [56]


It simply is a great investment that will provide many high quality jobs, potentially several times as many in a chain of local suppliers of components and services. The only one that could match it during 8 years of PO is a VW's new factory. Let's be honest, you would love to see Poland loosing this one, so you could blame it on PiS.


Like I said 100 times already, there are good foreign investments and there are the bad ones, this one is one of the best in the whole history of 3rd RP. +90% of others are either some crappy assembly lines or domestic market businesses, they deserve nothing. You first made up "they are against foreign investments !" nonsense and now try to use this made up nonsense to "justify"... something...


Anything wealthy over there is Wrocław metro and KGHM areas, there are still powiats with unemployment rate at +20%, the one where they are going to build this factory is currently at 17%. Statistics at NUTS 2 are misleading as economic development tend to be more local.
