The ledger, cassation appeals and reminders: three new reports and over 1,400 documents
Three new reports based on official letters. "The ledger": in 2025 citizens of 58 countries declared PLN 6.28 billion of income tax due in Poland and ZUS recorded PLN 23.9 billion in social contributions for foreigners, while on 1 July 2026 there were 803,223 pending cases and the average time from application to decision was 242-658 days. "The state loses and appeals": in 2026 the Pomorskie voivode filed 185 cassation appeals, Mazowieckie 110, and ten of fifteen voivodes at most one. "Do not pass on reminders": how an act and a UdSC circular disconnected the safety switch. We also updated the reports on FAMI, the state's answers and statistics; the archive now holds over 1,400 documents.
