- Unregistered business activity in Poland does not require formal registration, but VAT obligations still apply.
- Many people, such as employees, students, the unemployed, and retirees, use unregistered business to earn extra income due to fewer formalities.
- Limited formal requirements can lead to problems, as individuals may neglect necessary tax settlements, including VAT, fiscal cash registers, and KSeF.
- VAT exemption for private teaching applies only to education that matches official school or university curricula; private music lessons and swimming lessons do not qualify.
- Failure to understand and fulfill tax obligations can result in legal and financial troubles for those conducting unregistered business activities.
