WEBINAR | Employees from Ukraine in Poland - in which country they should pay personal income tax and social security contributions?

26 October | 10:00 - 11:30 | Free event


Employment of employees from Ukraine by Polish employers has been a common practice for many years. Moreover, after the Russian invasion on Ukraine in February this year, millions of Ukrainian citizens were forced to leave their country to search a safe place to live. A large part of them moved to Poland to seek shelter from the war here. At least some of them started working remotely in Poland for their Ukrainian employer or were employed by Polish employers.
 
In addition to the obligations in the field of immigration and labor law, performance of work by Ukrainian citizens in the territory of Poland has specific tax and social security consequences, mainly in Poland, but also in Ukraine. These effects depend on the form of employment, the employee's tax and social security situation, the length of their stay in Poland and may occur in one country or in both.
 
The legal and tax consequences apply not only to the employees, but also to the employer, who as the tax and social security remitter is responsible for the proper and legal employment and settlement of tax and social security charges to the respective authorities in Poland and Ukraine.
