Poland and Polish Discussion Group and Forum

Welcome to the original English language Poland and Polish discussion group board. This message forum is a place where English-speaking Poles, foreigners (expats) living in Poland, and anyone with a genuine interest in Poland can discuss and read the views of others concerning Poland. Subjects include: Polish news and current affairs; Life in Poland; politics; genealogy research; Polish culture and history; advice and tips on visiting Poland; Polish property and investment issues. The aim of our group is to increase awareness of wonderful Poland using the English language and allow and foster the honest debate and exchange of opinions on anything vaguely related to Poland and Polish - positive, negative and/or neutral! This discussion group is not an open-to-all public message board. Membership is by invitation only and therefore given that a fairly limited number of people have full access, it is more of a community blog than a straightforward forum. This application system was brought in to lessen the amount of spam and nonsensical and commercial posts made by casual visitors and off-topic and offensive posts left by a disruptive minority. To ask  a one-off question about Poland or respond to comments made on this board without a password just email us and provided it is at least halfway sensible, we'll post it on the board for all to see and current members will try to respond! All opinions and views expressed on this site are solely those of their respective authors and are not necessarily those of anyone else!

Local Taxation in Poland

Do residents of Poland pay local tax in addition to normal income tax?

Council tax or some form of community poll tax.



Thanks.

Local taxation is laughably minimal. Can't remember exactly - was it GBP 50 last year? Wasn't much anyway.
This will change in the next couple of years with the introduction of a proper property tax - "kastralny" tax. Sounds a bit ghoully to me.

Re: Local Taxation in Poland

A small sum as Varsovian says. The amount you pay seems to depend on the amount of land or size of apartment you have. Not the property's market value. Local services are of course less developed, so you wouldn't expect to pay large amounts in local tax.

Re: Local Taxation in Poland

The kastralny tax will be based on property value, but it's totally unclear how much we're going to have to pay.
