What can be tax deductible in 2022. We send PIT for 2021, check all tax credits and deductions

From January 1, 2022, favorable changes regarding income tax apply. The two most important are:

• an increase in the tax-free amount from PLN 8,000 to PLN 30,000 per year, i.e. PLN 2,500 per month;
• shifting the 2nd tax threshold (32%) from PLN 85,528 to PLN 120,000 annually.

The new solutions are beneficial or neutral for over 23 million people, i.e. 90 percent. Polish taxpayers. Poles will pay the tax office less, and 9 million will not pay tax at all, which will apply to less earners and almost 2/3 of retirees and disability pensioners. People employed under a contract of employment will not lose even with earnings up to PLN 12,800 gross per month. According to the higher, 32% threshold, tax will be paid by half as many people as before – their number will decrease from 1.24 million to 613 thousand.

Unfortunately, the changes entered into force on January 1, 2022, which means that in the sense of annual tax settlements, they will actually apply from 2023, because only then will we settle the income from 2022, so only then according to the new rules (not counting the monthly reduced advances) during this year thanks to PIT-2). Therefore, we should remember that at the beginning of this year we settle accounts for the year 2021, so according to the current rules. However, also here, i.e. from 2021, there are some changes that are worth checking below. Let us just remind you that in 2022, PIT 2021 tax declarations should be submitted:
