Will the planned lump-sum tax changes affect only the highest-earning entrepreneurs? No. A lower revenue threshold may exclude businesses with high turnover but low margins from the Polish lump-sum tax on recorded revenue. I discussed the consequences of the draft legislation with Rzeczpospolita and Prawo.pl.
Will the proposed lump-sum tax changes affect only Poland’s highest-earning entrepreneurs? No. Reducing the revenue threshold from EUR 2 million to EUR 250,000 could also affect smaller businesses with high turnover but low profit margins. I discussed the consequences of this proposal in an interview with Money.pl.
How to settle occasional lease in Poland and what should landlords watch out for when it comes to lump-sum tax and VAT? This issue was discussed by dr Piotr Sekulski, tax advisor and founder of Outsourced.pl, in his expert comment for Prawo.pl. In practice, the biggest doubts concern not only the annual PIT-28 tax return, but also whether income from private rental may affect the VAT exemption limit for individuals who also run a business.
Commercial intermediation tax is an increasingly important topic for people working with companies in a B2B model as sales representatives, business developers, sales managers or persons responsible for client acquisition. In many cases, the 8.5% lump-sum tax rate may be worth considering, but it is not enough to rely only on the job title.

Lump-sum tax for managers is an issue that keeps returning in tax practice. In February 2026, Prawo.pl described the risks connected with combining management functions with the provision of services to one’s own company, and the article quoted dr Piotr Sekulski several times.

Changes in lump-sum tax are becoming increasingly clear. Today, “Rzeczpospolita” published an article featuring commentary by Piotr Sekulski, PhD, tax adviser, on the new version of the draft amendments to the lump-sum tax rules. This is an important signal, because we are no longer dealing with old assumptions, but with another version of the draft that has appeared in the Government Legislation Centre and may realistically lead to higher tax burdens for many taxpayers from January 1, 2027.
An invoice for company management may seem like a simple optimisation tool, but in practice it often creates significant tax risks. Particular caution is needed where someone combines management functions with services provided to their own company through a sole proprietorship. We recently discussed this issue in a tax commentary published by Prawo.pl.
The tax authorities have released the new PIT forms for 2025 ahead of the annual filing season. Here’s what to watch out for—especially if you use Twój e-PIT or the app.
The UX/UI lump-sum tax rate can be more nuanced than the standard “8.5% vs 12%” discussion common in the Polish IT sector. In UX/UI, there is also a third rate worth considering. Gazeta Wyborcza published an article featuring my comment on this shift in the tax authorities’ approach.
Ryczałt (lump-sum tax) is tempting with its simplicity and low tax rates, but a mistake when choosing the rate may mean a significant tax top-up after several years. Our article titled “lump-sum tax checklist” is designed to make you aware of what is worth preparing before you tick the “ryczałt” box in CEIDG.
