You should correct your tax return if:
Remember! The right to correct a tax return is suspended for the duration of tax proceedings or a tax inspection – to the extent covered by such proceedings or inspection.
You still have the right to submit a correction after the end of:
If, in the course of tax proceedings concerning tax avoidance, you submit a correction to your tax return referred to in Article 81b sec. 1a and sec. 1f of the Tax Ordinance Act, please submit a justification for the reasons for submitting the correction together with the correction itself.
Enter your PESEL number if, in 2025, you did not run a registered business or special branches of agricultural production, were not registered for VAT purposes, and were not a payer of taxes and social and health insurance premiums.
A quick reminder!
If you are a foreign national and are required to settle your tax in Poland, you should, as a rule, enter your PESEL number.
You use your TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number) if in 2025 you had a registered business, special agricultural production activities, were a registered taxpayer of value‑added tax, or acted as a payer (of social insurance contributions, health insurance, or taxes, e.g. related to employing a worker).
You may deduct from your revenue the contributions specified in the provisions of the Act of 13 October 1998 on the Social Insurance System:
Contributions paid in the tax year from the taxpayer's funds for mandatory social insurance of the taxpayer or persons cooperating with them, in accordance with the regulations regarding mandatory social insurance applicable in an EU Member State other than Poland, or in another state belonging to the European Economic Area, or in the Swiss Confederation, are also deductible. However, in order to deduct these contributions, it is necessary that the right to deduct arises from a double taxation avoidance agreement or other ratified international agreements to which Poland is a party. The above agreements should also provide for the right of the Polish tax authority to obtain the necessary information from the tax authority of the country where you paid these contributions.
In the PIT-28 return, you cannot deduct contributions:
Determine the amount of expenses for social security contributions based on documents confirming that they were incurred.
If you paid contributions in another currency, you should convert them into GBP at the average exchange rate announced by the National Bank of Poland on the last working day preceding the date on which the expense was incurred.
Remember! As a rule, contributions paid on revenue that is exempt from tax under Article 21 sec. 1
of the Personal Income Tax Act are not deductible. However, the above does not apply to entrepreneurs.
Remember! You are entitled to deduct health insurance contributions only if you earn revenue from non-agricultural business activity. When settling health insurance contributions, the principle of the source and form of taxation applies. This means that if you earn revenue from business activity, PIT-28 allows you to settle only contributions paid from business activity taxed in this form. If you have revenue taxed in another form (e.g. a company taxed according to a flat tax), you cannot freely settle all health insurance contributions.
You can reduce your revenue from non-agricultural business activity for yourself and for your associates by 50% of the health insurance contributions paid during the tax year – if they have not been refunded to you in any form.
Remember! The above information does not reflect all the conditions for taking advantage of the preferences discussed. Therefore, before taking advantage of the given relief, please read carefully the conditions necessary to do so (https://www.podatki.gov.pl/pit/ulgi-odliczenia-i-zwolnienia/odliczenie-skladek-na-ubezpieczenie-zdrowotne/). Apart from the maximum deduction amount for the flat tax, the rules for settling the health insurance contribution for 2025 are the same as for 2024.
In this part of the tax return, you report revenue and the lump sum due from business activity for which you have chosen to be taxed at a flat rate on recorded revenue.
In the Twój e-PIT service, you fill in the revenue and costs from business activity in the available wizards.
Lump-sum taxation on recorded revenue is available to natural persons who start their business activity in the tax year and do not use taxation in the form of a tax card, as well as persons who generate revenue from business activities but whose revenue in the previous tax year did not exceed the limit of EUR 2,000,000, calculated according to the average euro exchange rate announced by the National Bank of Poland on the first working day of October of the previous year.
If you conduct business activity both independently and in the form of a company, the revenue limit for the previous year applies separately to each of these activities. The fact that the EUR 2,000,000 limit has been exceeded in one of the forms of economic activity does not preclude the possibility of taxation on a lump-sum basis on recorded revenue from the other activity.
Certain types of activity are excluded from taxation in the form of a lump sum on recorded revenue. Thus, you cannot use lump-sum taxation if:
You also cannot use lump-sum taxation if you have formally reorganised your business or provide services to your former employer.
You can reduce your revenue by the allowances and deductions to which you are entitled.
Remember! Even if you have incurred expenses related to obtaining revenue, you cannot reduce it by the tax-deductible costs, as the lump-sum tax is levied on the revenue.
The lump-sum tax rate generally depends on the type of revenue you earn and ranges from 2% to 17%.
The lump-sum tax on recorded revenue is as follows:
17% for revenue earned in freelance professions
Freelance professions are defined as business activities performed personally (i.e. without employing persons performing activities related to the essence of a given profession on the basis of employment contracts, contracts of mandate, contracts for specific work and other contracts of a similar nature) by: translators, solicitors, notaries, legal advisers, auditors, accountants, insurance agents, agents offering supplementary insurance, reinsurance brokers, insurance brokers, tax advisers, restructuring advisers, stockbrokers, investment advisers, investment firm agents and patent attorneys.
The above are examples of services to which the 15% rate applies. A full list of services whose revenues are taxed at a rate of 15% can be found in Article 12 sec. 1 point 2 of the Lump-Sum Income Tax Act.
The limit of PLN 100,000 does not apply to rental revenue for spouses who have joint property and who have submitted a declaration that the entire revenue will be taxed by one of them. In this case, the limit for that spouse is PLN 200,000.
The above are examples of activities to which the 8.5% or 12.5% rate applies. A full list of activities for which revenues are taxed at rates of 8.5% and 12.5% can be found in Article 12 sec. 1 point 4 of
the Lump-Sum Income Tax Act.
The above are examples of activities to which the 8.5% rate applies. A full list of revenues taxed at this rate can be found in Article 12 sec. 1 point 5 of the Act on Flat-Rate Income Tax.
The above are examples of activities to which the 3% rate applies. A full list of revenue taxed at this rate can be found in Article 12 sec. 1 point 7 of the Lump-Sum Income Tax Act.
Remember! Taxation applies to any sales in excess of PLN 100,000.
If, as part of your business, you earn revenue taxed at different rates, you must determine the lump sum on recorded revenue according to the rate applicable to revenue from each type of activity. This is only possible if you keep records of your revenue in a way that allows you to determine the revenue from each type of activity separately.
This part of the tax return is used to disclose your revenue and the lump sum due if you conduct your business in the form of a civil law partnership/general partnership whose sole partners are natural persons.
Remember! You can benefit from taxation in the form of a lump sum on recorded revenue if the company's revenue in the previous tax year did not exceed the limit of EUR 2,000,000, calculated according to the average euro exchange rate announced by the National Bank of Poland on the first working day of October of the previous year.
If you conduct business activity both independently and in the form of a company, the revenue limit for the previous year applies separately to each of these activities. The fact that the EUR 2,000,000 limit has been exceeded in one of the forms of economic activity does not preclude the possibility of taxation on a lump-sum basis on revenue from the other activity.
You can reduce your revenue by the allowances and deductions to which you are entitled.
Remember! The lump sum tax is levied on revenue, which means you cannot reduce your revenue by tax-deductible costs, i.e. you cannot reduce the revenue by expenses incurred to generate it.
Remember! The condition for lump-sum taxation of revenue earned by partners in a general partnership or civil law partnership is that all partners choose this form of taxation.
In the case of a lump sum on recorded revenue, the tax rate depends on the actual activity performed and ranges from 2% to 17%.
The lump-sum rate on recorded revenue is:
Freelance professions are defined as business activities performed personally (i.e. without employing persons performing activities related to the essence of a given profession on the basis of employment contracts, contracts of mandate, contracts for specific work and other contracts of a similar nature) by: translators, solicitors, notaries, legal advisers, auditors, accountants, insurance agents, agents offering supplementary insurance, reinsurance brokers, insurance brokers, tax advisers, restructuring advisers, stockbrokers, investment advisers, investment firm agents and patent attorneys.
The above are examples of services to which the 15% rate applies. A full list of services whose revenues are taxed at this rate can be found in Article 12 sec. 1 point 2 of the Lump-Sum Income Tax Act.
The above are examples of activities covered by the 8.5% rate, and after exceeding the limit of PLN 100,000, the 12.5% rate. A full list of activities for which revenues are taxed at these rates can be found in Article 1 point 4 of the Lump-Sum Income Tax Act.
The above are examples of activities to which the 8.5% rate applies. A full list of activities for which revenues are taxed at this rate can be found in Article 12 sec. 1 point 5 of the Act on Flat-Rate Income Tax.
The above are examples of activities to which the 3% rate applies. A full list of activities for which revenue is taxed at this rate can be found in Article 12 sec. 1 point 7 of the Lump-Sum Income Tax Act.
In the Twój e-PIT service, you fill in the revenue from business activity in the available wizards.
If you fill in the fields in the wizard concerning revenue from business activities conducted in the form of a company (or companies), the PIT-28/B attachment will be automatically attached to your tax return. The attachment will be visible in the tax return preview.
Remember! Revenue from rental and lease obtained outside of business activities can only be taxed in the form of a lump sum on recorded revenue.
According to Article 12 sec. 1 point 4 of the Lump Sum Tax Act, the lump-sum rate for revenue referred to in Article 6 sec. 1a up to PLN 100,000 is 8.5%, and for the excess above this amount, the lump-sum rate is 12.5%.
The PLN 100,000 limit applies to the entire calendar year and all properties you own and rent, e.g. premises, land, flats, buildings. It also covers all types of contracts, i.e. lease, sublease, tenancy, subtenancy and similar contracts. The decisive factor is the total revenue from all these sources.
In 2025, the higher revenue limit of PLN 200,000 taxed at a rate of 8.5% will continue to apply only to spouses who have joint property and who have submitted a declaration that the entire revenue will be taxed by one of them.
Revenues from the sale of plant and animal products processed in a non-industrial manner are also subject to lump-sum income tax.
Exceptions include processed plant and animal products obtained as part of special agricultural production activities and products subject to excise duty under separate regulations. Revenue from sales are subject to taxation as part of this revenue source if:
Remember! The limit of revenue from the sale of processed plant and animal products
exempt from taxation amounts to PLN 100,000. This means that only if your annual revenue from the sale of processed plant and animal products exceeds PLN 100,000
will you be required to pay tax on the excess revenue above the limit. You may tax the revenue under general principles according to the tax scale or with a flat-rate income tax, which amounts to 2%.
You must notify the head of the tax office about the choice of the lump-sum tax. If you do not report the selected form of taxation, your revenue will be taxed according to general principles.
This part of the tax return is used to declare the revenue determined by the tax authority, i.e. the head of the tax office competent for your place of residence/business (Article 17 of the Lump-Sum Income Tax Act). This provision stipulates that if you do not keep records or keep them in a manner that does not meet the conditions required for them to be considered evidence in tax proceedings, as well as in the event of finding the existence of connections referred to in Article 23m sec. 1 point 5 of the Personal Income Tax Act, the tax authority will determine the value of unrecorded revenue, including in the form of an estimate, and determine a lump sum on this amount at rates which are five times the rates that would have been applied to the revenue if it had been recorded, provided, however, that this lump sum may not exceed 75% of the revenue.
In the tax return for the year 2025, you may show a loss incurred in the years: 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, or 2024. You have the right to deduct it from the same source from which it was incurred. You may deduct the loss from your revenue in the next five consecutive tax years.
You are entitled to reduce your income in a given tax year by the amount of the loss incurred in one of the next five consecutive tax years, up to a maximum of PLN 5,000,000. The undeducted amount is subject to settlement in the remaining years of this five-year period, provided that the amount of the reduction in any of these years may not exceed 50% of the amount of the loss (Article 9 sec. 3 of the PIT Act).
In the PIT-28 tax return, you can deduct the following losses:

You may use the relief if you are subject to unlimited tax liability and obtain income from business activity outside Poland.

In accordance with sec. 1 of Article 9 of the Act of 16 November 2006 amending the Personal Income Tax Act and certain other acts, a "taxpayer" who in the years 2002-2006 was granted a loan (credit) referred to in Article 26b of the PIT Act, in the wording in force before 1 January 2007, hereinafter referred to as a "housing loan", is entitled, under the rules set out in this Act and in the Act on flat-rate income tax on certain revenues achieved by natural persons, in the wording in force before 1 January 2007, to deduct expenses for the repayment of interest:
The "housing loan" referred to above is a loan granted directly to the taxpayer (and not, for example, to a developer or housing cooperative) in the years 2002-2006 to finance an investment aimed at satisfying their own housing needs, related to:
Under the interest relief, you deduct the interest actually paid on the housing loan (credit), as well as on a loan (credit) taken out to repay the housing loan (credit) and on each subsequent loan (credit) taken out to repay the above-mentioned liabilities.

Note! The information cited above does not reflect the full wording of Article 26b of the Act, in force before 1 January 2007, in conjunction with Article 9 of the Act of 16 November 2006 amending the Personal Income Tax Act and certain other acts. Therefore, before making a deduction in your tax return, it is advisable to familiarise yourself with all the regulations concerning the relief in question, contained in the aforementioned provisions.
Taxpayers who, in the tax year, repaid a bank loan or a credit from their employer together with interest (received in 1992-1993 and intended for housing purposes specified in Article 26 sec. 1 points 5 and 6 of the PIT Act, in the wording in force in those years) and did not incur housing expenses, shall deduct the expenses incurred and deductible in previous years, to the extent that such expenses were not covered by income (revenue) for those years.
The type of housing expense and the amount of the deduction made should be entered. However, the amount of the deduction made must not exceed the deduction limit applicable for a given tax year. This limit is calculated as the difference between the deduction limit to which the taxpayer is entitled during the period of validity of the Act (i.e. from 1992) and the deduction limit used in previous years.
Note! Do not enter expenses incurred in the tax year for the repayment of debt on account of housing construction loans taken out by housing cooperatives until 31 May 1992. This relief expired at the end of 1999 (income deduction), and at the end of 2004, respectively (tax deduction).
The tax deduction for systematically accumulating savings in a single savings and loan account at a single bank operating a housing fund is available to taxpayers who concluded a contract savings loan agreement with a bank operating a housing fund for systematic savings, under the rules specified in the provisions on certain forms of supporting residential construction, and who, before 1 January 2002, acquired the right to deduct from tax expenses incurred for the purpose specified in Article 27a sec. 1 point 2 of the Act, as in force before 1 January 2002. Under the rules set out in this Act, they are entitled to deduct from tax further amounts of savings deposited for the continuation of systematic savings solely in the same savings and loan account and at the same bank operating a housing fund, incurred from 1 January 2002, until the end of the period for systematic savings determined before 1 January 2002 for the systematic accumulation of savings, resulting from the contract loan agreement.
The deduction amount may not exceed 30% of the expenses incurred in the tax year, however, not more than PLN 11,340. It should be verified whether the deducted amount falls within the deduction limit applicable in the tax year, calculated as the difference between the deduction limit specified for the years of validity of the provisions of the Act (i.e. since 1992) and the deduction limit used in previous years. In the case of persons who also make deductions for interest paid in the tax year on a bank loan or a credit from their employer, received in 1992-1993 for housing purposes (falling within the concept of the so-called large construction relief), the above-mentioned deduction limit specified for the years of validity of the provisions of the Act is additionally reduced by 19% of this interest.
If in previous years you claimed a tax deduction for housing expenses (including under the renovation‑and‑modernisation relief), and the deduction available to you was not fully used against the tax for those years, you can increase your tax deduction in 2025 by the amount not previously deducted.
Enter here the amounts which in previous years you deducted from the lump sum, and then received a refund of the deducted amounts (in whole or in part), e.g. you received funding under thermal modernisation.
When completing the table of amounts of lump sum due, show the lump sum on revenue calculated by you during the year. The amount of lump sum due for individual months (quarters) should be calculated by subtracting the applicable deductions from the revenue, and multiplying the obtained amount by the appropriate lump-sum rate. The calculated lump sum amount should be reduced by the applicable deductions from the lump sum, and then rounded to full zlotys.
Depending on your needs, you may be required to attach additional information to your tax return. If you fill in the data in the appropriate places of the tax return, the attachment will be generated automatically. The attachment will be visible in the tax return preview.
