As a rule, fixed-amount costs that can be included in the tax return cannot exceed:
- PLN 3,000 (PLN 250 per month) if you earned revenue from a single public service relationship, employment relationship, cooperative employment relationship, and outwork;
- PLN 4,500 if you earned revenue from more than one public service relationship, employment relationship, cooperative employment relationship, and outwork;
- PLN 3,600 (PLN 300 per month) if your place of permanent or temporary residence in the fiscal year was outside the locality of your place of work, and you did not receive a separation allowance or reimbursement for travel costs (except where the reimbursed costs were recognized as taxable revenue);
- PLN 5,400 if you earned revenue from more than one public service relationship, employment relationship, cooperative employment relationship, and outwork, and your place of permanent or temporary residence was outside the locality of your place of work, and you did not receive a separation allowance or reimbursement for travel costs (except where the reimbursed costs were recognized as taxable revenue).
If you commuted by public transport outside the locality where you live and you have personalized periodical tickets confirming the expenses incurred, you can include in your tax return the ticket amount instead of the lump-sum costs.
