Questions and Answers

1. What is Your e-PIT?

   Your e-PIT is an annual tax return for natural persons automatically prepared and made available by the National Revenue Administration. A taxpayer who uses the service does not have to fill-in the applications in order to settle his/her tax.

   The taxpayer’s tax return supplemented by data collected by the revenue administration is waiting for him/her in an electronic version in e-Urząd Skarbowy on the podatki.gov.pl website.

2. Where and when will Your e-PIT be available?

   The Your e-PIT service, including the tax return for 2021, will be available for a taxpayer from 15 February, 2022 in e-Urząd Skarbowy on the podatki.gov.pl website.

3. What data is included in a tax return made available in Your e-PIT service? How does the Tax Office know about the tax reliefs which a taxpayer intends to benefit from?

   The tax returns made available in Your e-PIT service are prepared on the basis of data collected by the revenue administration.

   PIT-37 contains summary provided by employers/remitters, bank account number, if the declaration shows overpayment and data from the previous years’ tax returns, such as a child relief and details of a public benefit organisation (PBO), if the taxpayer identified such organisation the previous year and the organisation remains on the PBO list. This data can, of course, be changed by the taxpayer. If a taxpayer wishes to benefit from other reliefs or deductions, e.g. deduction of donations for the purposes of blood donation, counteracting COVID-19 or religious worship, expenses for rehabilitation, thermomodernisation or the use of the Internet or contributions to the Individual Retirement Protection Account and deductions for housing expenses – he/she supplements the data on his/her own in a tax return made available upon logging into the service.

   PIT-38 contains data from the summery provided by remitters and presents the loss for the previous year. By logging into the service, a taxpayer may add losses from earlier years.

   PIT-28 will provide a taxpayer with information about the amount of advance payments made to the Tax Office's account, bank account number if the declaration shows overpayment. A taxpayer adds revenue from lease, sub-lease, rental, sub-rental and from other agreements of similar type, as well as revenue from the sale of processed plant and animal products.

   PIT-36 contains a summery provided by remitters, the amounts of advance personal income tax payments made to the Tax Office, bank account number if the declaration shows overpayment and data from the previous years’ tax returns, such as a child relief and details of a public benefit organisation (PBO), if the taxpayer identified such organisation the previous year and the organisation remains on the PBO list. A taxpayer may supplement the tax return by adding revenue from lease, rental or e.g. revenue generated without the agency of a remitter, revenue from sales, undeclared business.

   As far as PIT-28 and PIT-36 are concerned, the service will not apply to economic activity and special branches of agricultural production

4. Is the use of Your e-PIT service obligatory?

   The use of Your e-PIT service is not obligatory. A taxpayer is free to choose the form of submission of his/her tax return. He/she may submit it in paper or electronic form, via the e-Statements or use Your e-PIT service.

   If a taxpayer chooses a form other than Your e-PIT, he/she does not need to discard a tax return made available under the service. The Tax office will recognise as binding the tax return submitted individually by the taxpayer.

5. Is it possible to make an adjustment in Your e-PIT service?

   Your e-PIT service gives a taxpayer a possibility to make adjustments in PIT-28, PIT-36, PIT-37, PIT-38 forms – regardless of whether he/she has submitted a tax return by using Your e-PIT service or otherwise, i.e. electronically, via the e-Statements system or on paper.

6. Does the use of Your e-PIT service require installation of an application or additional software?

   No. The use of Your e-PIT service requires no additional software or application. All you need is a computer and Internet access.

7. Is a taxpayer who has individually submitted annual tax return PIT-37 required to log into e-Urząd Skarbowy on the podatki.gov.pl website and discard a tax return made available under Your e-PIT service?

   No. In such a situation the tax return made available by Your e-PIT service will be automatically cancelled.
