The number of tasks affecting the tax liability of individuals multiplies at the beginning of the year.
This is due to the need to close the 2021 tax year, to provide data to the tax authorities for the preparation of the draft tax return, to prepare for the January payroll and for individuals and entrepreneurs to consider the content and consequences of their 2022 declarations in parallel.
We have summarised the obligations that affect several of them.
Tasks concerning employers/payers
- By 31 January 2022, the employer or payer must issue and submit to the individual an aggregated certificate (M30) for payments and benefits made in 2021.
- If the employer discovers, after issuing the summary certificate or the paying agent after issuing the certificate of payment, that the individual's advance tax or tax has not been assessed and deducted in accordance with the law, must record the error discovered and, within 15 days, notify the individual's state tax authority (using form AJK), indicating the individual's tax identification number, of the amount of the tax overpayment, the title of the payment and the date of issue of the payment certificate.
- In order to allocate the advance tax refund for child-rearing parents, the deadline for reporting for the 2021 tax year has been changed to 20 January 2022. By this date, data must be provided on, among other things, the „NYESZ” account; securities transactions to credit institutions, investment service providers; controlled capital market transactions and income from long-term investments, increases in the share capital of a paying agent to the debit of the equity capital of a partnership and other securities income; securities transferred to an individual through an exchange of shares of a beneficiary; income earned through a right to securities. Information on certificates entitling to tax relief will also be provided to the tax authorities, but certificates entitling to the relief will continue to be issued to individuals until 15 February 2022.
Tasks concerning private persons
- Advance tax for the assessment of the basis of assessment for self-employment, reimbursement of expenses and for the claiming of basic income tax relief - except for the relief for young people under 25 years of age, which only needs to be declared if the individual does not claim the relief or only intends to claim part of it. The declaration can be made on paper by filling in, printing and signing the form electronically via the Advance Tax Declaration Application (ANYA); or via the client portal using the Online Form Filling Application (ONYA).
- Declaration of non-resident individuals for the purposes of claiming income tax relief.
- Ekho declaration basically for persons employed in the arts, media and sports, on the election of ekho and if they earn income in the tax year on which they pay public taxes according to the general rules.
- Sole proprietors have the option to declare their flat-rate tax election at the time of formation. Instead of opting for the flat tax, a Kata taxpayer can declare the change on the 101E change notification form when filing for exit, while an individual entrepreneur with an itemised deduction must declare on the 2153 income tax return if he wishes to meet his tax liability under the flat tax rules for 2022.
