You will still be able to pay PIT in Krakow

This year, due to the special situation related to the epidemic, the submission of PIT and payment of the tax extended to 31 May. This is an opportunity to join the circle of Krakow’s taxpayers and help the city’s budget in such a difficult period for him. 

Income tax is nearly 30% of Krakow’s income. So anyone who lives near Wawel Castle can help, but still pays taxes elsewhere. Krakow reminds us of this in a special information campaign for the ninth time.

It is worth remembering that the place of settlement of an individual is the competent tax office according to the taxpayer’s place of residence on the last day of the tax year. This means that in order to pay taxes in Krakow, you don’t have to be registered here at all – you just have to live here and easily change the tax office. There are six of these in Krakow and the choice of the right one depends on the address of residence.

In order to start paying tax in Krakow, during the period of tax settlements – that is, right now – you need to provide the address of residence in Krakow in the PIT form and indicate the data of the locally competent tax office. A one-page ZAP-3 form can be completed at any time and is available on the website of the Ministry of Finance. Filling in the form is easy – you have to give your name, PESEL number, address and bank account number, which will be affected by e. g. tax refunds. The completed ZAP-3 form can be submitted in person or sent by post to the tax office competent for the place of residence.

Everyone who settles the tax in Krakow will not only gain their own contribution to financing city purchases or investments, but will also have the opportunity to apply for the Krakow Card.

When applying for a PIT card, you must present a document confirming your tax settlement for the previous year, at the Krakow tax office and with your Krakow address. It may be: 

– first page of the PIT with a gift from the tax office (stamp of receipt) or with confirmation of its submission, with the reservation that in the case of PIT 40A no gift/confirmation of submission is required,
– first page of the PIT together with the Official Certificate of receipt of this PIT (UPO),
– certificate from the tax office.
