Secondment to Poland for 3 years
October 13, 2011 | 30,00 EUR | answered by Dr. Yanqiong Bolik
I am to be seconded by my employer based in Germany to Poland for a maximum of 3 years. My main residence (family or center of life) will remain in Germany. My original salary will continue to be paid in Germany, and I am to receive an additional compensation in Poland.
My question: Which benefits in kind (e.g. second home, car, mobile phone) from the employer are tax-free in Poland?
Dear inquirer,
Thank you for your inquiry, which I will gladly answer taking into account your input and the rules of this platform.
Please note that my explanation is based on the presented facts, and that adding, omitting, changing the information, or the ambiguity of the information can change the tax result.
According to your information, you will be employed in PL due to relocation with your own household. The following reimbursements from the employer can remain tax-free due to this double household management for professional reasons:
1. Costs for the first and last trip: either reimbursement of the actually proven costs or, if you use your own car, reimbursement of €0.30 per kilometer actually driven.
2. Home visits: either reimbursement of the actually proven costs or, if you use your own car, reimbursement of €0.30 per kilometer actually driven.
3. Meal expenses: Employer's reimbursements for meals in the first three months of work in PL up to the foreign daily allowance.
4. Accommodation costs: Employer's reimbursements for necessary accommodation costs in the first three months.
I hope this information was helpful to you.
If there are still uncertainties, please feel free to use the follow-up function.
Kind regards,
