From February 15, 2025, you can submit your tax declarations and apply for a refund of overpaid taxes for the 2024 year.
Starting from February, the possibility of submitting tax declarations for 2024 has opened. This is an important moment for all taxpayers who want to settle with the tax authorities and take advantage of the reliefs and refunds available to them. Below is key information about submitting PIT declarations, deadlines, and conditions for receiving a tax refund.
Deadlines for submitting declarations
The deadline for submitting declarations depends on the type of form:
- By February 28, 2025 – PIT-16, PIT-16A
- By April 30, 2025 – PIT-28, PIT-36, PIT-36L, PIT-37, PIT-38, PIT-39
PIT-37 is the most popular tax declaration, intended for employees who do not run a business. It is completed based on the information from the PIT-11 received from the employer.
Who can receive a tax refund?
Tax refunds are available to:
- Individuals who have overpaid taxes during the year,
- Individuals using tax reliefs, such as:
- Child relief,
- Rehabilitation relief,
- Internet relief,
- Blood donor relief, and others.
Will you always receive a refund?
Not every PIT settlement results in a tax refund.
- If you have overpaid – the tax office will refund the overpaid amount.
- If you have underpaid – you will need to pay the difference.
How to submit a PIT declaration?
You can submit your PIT declaration in two ways:
- Electronically – through the “Your e-PIT” service available on the e-Tax Office website. You can log in using a trusted profile, online banking, or other authentication methods. Your tax refund will be transferred to your account within 45 days.
- On paper – submit it in person at the tax office or mail the form. A refund for paper submissions may take up to 3 months.
What happens if you don’t submit your PIT on time?
- If PIT-37 or PIT-38 is not submitted by April 30, 2025, the tax office will automatically settle the taxpayer based on available data.
- PIT-28, PIT-36, and PIT-36L do not undergo automatic acceptance. Failure to submit these declarations on time may result in a fine, up to 720 daily rates!
PIT-2 – what to know?
PIT-2 is a statement that allows you to reduce your tax advance by PLN 300 per month, meaning a higher payout during the year. It is usually submitted once, after starting work. If you work in several places, you can submit PIT-2 to one employer or divide the relief between the workplaces where you work.
Remember to submit your PIT declaration on time to avoid penalties and potential issues with tax authorities. Take advantage of all available reliefs and consider which form of submission will be most convenient for you. Submitting your declaration online allows for a faster tax refund, so it’s worth considering.
Donation of 1.5% of Tax
Taxpayers can choose to donate 1.5% of their tax to a selected charity without any additional costs to the taxpayer. This is very simple – just enter the name of the public benefit organization and its KRS number in your tax declaration. If you do not select any OPP, your 1.5% will automatically go to the State Treasury.
In this way, you can also support our efforts for migrants and the host society! The Ukraine Foundation is not a public benefit organization, but thanks to cooperation with FaniMani.pl, we have the opportunity to receive 1.5% of your tax. This means that after entering the KRS data, the name FaniMani will appear, and the donated deductions will go to the Ukraine Foundation’s subaccount.
📌 KRS No.: 0000507234
📌 Amount: 1.5%
🎯 Specific Purpose: 6374
