    B2B contract audits may not end with a decision issued by the Polish National Labour Inspectorate, or PIP. Information gathered by labour inspectors may also be shared with the tax authorities and the Social Insurance Institution, ZUS. This may lead to a review of the previous tax and social security settlements of both the company and the self-employed contractor.

    Rzeczpospolita published an article featuring our commentary on the tax consequences of reclassifying a B2B relationship as employment. The topic was also highlighted on the front page of the newspaper’s 7 July 2026 edition.

    It is a common practice for companies to employ a person under an employment contract (usually for the minimum wage) while simultaneously cooperating with that person under a B2B contract. The benefits of combining UoP and B2B stem from the assumption that there is a convergence of two titles for social insurance contributions, i.e., the employment contract and business activity.

Blog Outsourced.pl

In response to numerous inquiries from our clients, we decided to launch a Tax Blog. We discuss current issues regarding the taxation of creative industries and the IT sector. Bearing in mind that that tax law, general law and accounting consist of hundreds of unclear and interrelated regulations, we try to organize the most important information and provide it in an accessible way.

We do not advise on the blog! This blog is supposed to be a source of information - however, each case should be approached individually. For a tax advice, please visit our website.
