My understanding is that if you reside in Poland more than 183 days, you get to pay taxes on your foreign earned income. Is this correct? Isn't there a double taxation agreement that prevents this? At 32% this can be substancial after the 120,000 pln rule. 12% up to 120,000 and 32% on anything higher? Any good international income (only) tax advisors in Warsaw?
Generally yes you will have to pay Polish tax on it, though you are allowed to deduct US tax from that.
There are plenty of tax advisors in Warsaw specializing in that - better off to use a Facebook group Google it. I'm not going to give a specific recommendation
Also might be ways around the tax depending on how you earned it etc.
@cms neuf I'm a legal resident of Poland, but I've been back here less than 6 months after living in the US. As a US citizen, I currently earn income from a US company while working remotely in Poland.
While I appreciate the importance of contributing to infrastructure through taxes, the 32% income tax rate in Poland is a significant burden compared to the tax situation I have in the US. There, I often receive a tax refund and may be able to legally minimize my tax obligation.
That said, I will plan to return to the USA. No sense staying here to be taxed on income I earned abroad.
Sure - if you think you will be better off in the US then nothing stopping you going back. i don't like the tax rates either but not much I can do about it - they will be going up soon as the deficit has grown way too big in the last 5 years.
I am surprised Poland does not have a wage harmonization scheme for foreign workers in Poland. I'm all for paying Polish tax rates. But not higher then anyone Polish doing the same work. You could drive away needed workers.
