Work / Living in Poland with income from the US. [44]
ZUS provides public insurance medical and pension insurance.
Insurance premiums is a complicated issue (there are three - medical, social, pension and for each of them - several fees), but you have to paid them when your businnes has been registrated in Poland (for you and your businnes itself). And - of course - for every your employee (and there are more fees than for your businnes itself) regardless where businnes has been registrated.
If you aren't employee and your businnes hasn't been registrated in Poland - you should pay medical insurance premium to ZUS by yourself as a person, otherwise you will not have the right to health care. Of course, doctors and hospitals admittes you, but they issue a invoice (for rescue operation, examination etc.).
OK, if you pay now SE taxes, in Poland you should pay taxes of yours all incomes (unlimited tax obligation). Paying taxes in Poland isn't profitable in comparision to (rather) any country in world.
Bad news is that you can deducte from tax only part of public insurance fees. And if you're planning being in Poland on pension, there is second bad news - pension in Poland is taxed, from another country too (for example - if you will have a pension from your insurance in USA - living in Poland you'll pay 18%/32% tax of its sum and the same with Polish pension). And third bad news is in Poland pension it even burdened with insurance premiums. And tax-free amount is lesser even than in most African countries.
So, being on pensions in Poland is bad idea - you pay pension fee and tax before pension and you pay second tax on pension. The same with medical insurance.
