Concerns individuals who settle accounts with the Polish tax authorities.
There is a lot of content about cryptocurrency tax. People mislead others with their ignorance. Therefore, I will briefly describe how it really is below.
Do I have to submit a declaration?
If you have obtained income from the sale of virtual currencies (so-called cryptocurrencies), you must submit an annual PIT-38 declaration. You submit the declaration even if you obtain income as part of conducting business activity, except for activities referred to in Article 2, paragraph 1, point 12 of the Act on Counteracting Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism, from which income is classified as income from non-agricultural business activities.
You must also submit a declaration if you did not obtain income from the sale of virtual currencies but incurred expenses for their acquisition during the calendar year.
How to calculate the tax base?
The tax base is the income (i.e., revenue - costs of obtaining revenue).
How much will I pay?
You will pay a 19% income tax on the income obtained from the sale of virtual currencies.
Legal basis
Act of July 26, 1991, on Personal Income Tax (PIT Act)
