Will the PIT settlement look different? An important change is coming
The government wants to exempt employers from the obligation to provide employees with PIT-11. Almost 60 percent Poles criticize this idea.
April 30 was the deadline for submitting the PIT tax return for 2025. The preliminary estimates provided by the Ministry of Finance on that day indicated that taxpayers submitted approximately 17 million returns, the vast majority of which were submitted electronically, including over 8.6 million via the Your e-PIT service.
– The most convenient form of settlement is the Your e-PIT service. In this way, taxpayers have already submitted over 8.6 million returns. In the return prepared in your e-PIT, you can also include deductions, take advantage of reliefs that are not automatically assigned in the system and change or indicate the public benefit organization to which you want to donate 1.5%. tax – emphasizes the Ministry of Finance.
In the near future, the ministry plans to release employers from the obligation to provide employees with tax forms with data on earnings in the previous year.
The draft amendment to the Personal Income Tax Act and Corporate Income Tax Act includes provisions under which employers would have to send data on employees’ earnings to the tax administration. Taxpayers could access them at the e-Tax Office.
Poles want to continue receiving PIT
Polish taxpayers approach the planned changes with caution. A survey by SW Research commissioned by PITax shows that as many as 57.7 percent respondents would like to continue receiving PIT-11 in hand or by e-mail. People who believe that it is enough for the data to be in the government system constitute 26.9%. respondents.
One of the effects of moving away from submitting PIT-11 may be a larger number of returns automatically accepted by the National Tax Administration systems, and thus fewer taxpayers will include in their tax settlement the public benefit organization to which they want to donate 1.5%. your tax. Nearly 43 percent respondents expect that the resignation from submitting PIT-11 to taxpayers will make it more difficult to support public benefit organizations. A quarter of respondents (25.5%) have the opposite opinion.
The study was conducted by the SW Research research studio on behalf of PITax on a group of 1,000 adult Poles using the CAWI method (online), on the SW Panel online panel. The study was carried out at the end of January 2026.
