KAS stated that the entrepreneur who sent it the query does not have to charge advance IRS payments if he provides employees with company smartphones and routers (the latter is important, as it also allows them to make calls via the Internet), which they use for private purposes, – reports the ISBnews agency. “The criterion to be used to determine the real situation is whether such free benefit constitutes the employee’s income, obtains a financial benefit from him or avoids an expense,” the interpretation reads.
August 15 is the six-month deadline within which many entities are supposed to implement standards for the protection of minors. These are new requirements, including for schools and kindergartens, sports clubs, non-governmental organizations and medical facilities. They are introduced by the so-called Kamilek Act, i.e. an amendment to the Family and Guardianship Code and some other laws. The tragic story of eight-year-old Kamil from Częstochowa, who died as a result of domestic violence, prompted decision-makers to adopt new solutions. The Kamilek Act came into partial force on February 15, 2024, however, giving many institutions and facilities where children stay or may stay, half a year to implement the so-called standards for the protection of minors.

The Council of Ministers approved this week a bill that introduces, from January 1, 2025, the possibility for entrepreneurs to opt for the method of settling revenues and costs for tax purposes in cash, that is, the so-called PIT money.
Entrepreneurs who choose the cash method will report income only when they receive money from the contractor. And the cost when they pay for purchases. But be careful – we will not avoid taxes anyway, because after two years (or in case of liquidation of the business) the income will have to be declared. Even if the contractor has not yet paid us. Therefore, the cash principle does not mean exemption from IRS, only its postponement.
