Almost 2.5 million companies have already benefited from this relief. Last moment this year
Companies interested in using the so-called holidays from ZUS this year, they have little time to submit their applications. The deadline is at the end of November.
– November is the last month to apply for contribution holidays for 2025. An entrepreneur who submits an application this month can use them in December this year – reminds the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) in a statement.
One year of vacation from ZUS. So many companies have benefited
The institution reports that since November 2024, i.e. from the date of entry into force of contribution holidays (also known as ZUS holidays), nearly 2.4 million entrepreneurs have used this solution and, at their request, have been exempted from the obligation to pay contributions for a given month.
– In December 2024, nearly 1.3 million entrepreneurs took advantage of the contribution holidays, and in the period from January to November 2025 – over 1.1 million. The total amount to be exempted has already exceeded PLN 3.1 billion. For the period from January to November 2025, it is over PLN 1.5 billion – ZUS calculates.
Let us remind you that since November last year, micro-entrepreneurs entered in the register of the Central Registration and Information on Economic Activity and court bailiffs can submit applications for exemption from paying their own social security contributions in one month of their choice in each calendar year.
An entrepreneur or his representative may submit an application for a contribution holiday (RWS) only electronically to PUE/eZUS – only from the payer’s account one month before the month for which he or she wants to be released. For example, applications submitted in December this year will already apply to January 2026.
– We consider applications for contribution holidays automatically. All information on this matter can be found on the payer’s account on PUE/eZUS. Additionally, we will send information about new information on this subject to the e-mail address or telephone number provided by the entrepreneur in his PUE/eZUS account. If the entrepreneur is partially exempt from the relief or does not receive it, we will issue a decision on this matter and transfer it to the payer’s account at PUE/eZUS – ZUS emphasizes.
You can appeal against the decision to the court through ZUS.
