As we can read on the website of the Bolesławiec City Hall, “for every salary paid, the employer calculates and pays advance payments on income tax to the relevant tax office, which in turn transfers the shares of this tax due to our city. The planned share for 2014 is 37.53%.”
– This means that indicating our city as your place of residence causes the shares from advance income-tax payments to supplement the Bolesławiec city budget. These funds are used, among other things, to build and renovate streets and pavements, buildings located within the city, and new facilities – says Bolesławiec President Piotr Roman.
Municipal officials explain: when we change our registered address and place of residence, we should submit form ZAP-3 Update notification for an individual who is a taxpayer to the tax office. It is worth remembering that we submit the ZAP-3 update notification only when our residential address differs from our registered address.
Example: A person registered in city X, living in Bolesławiec, earns a gross monthly salary of PLN 3,000. The monthly advance payment on income tax is PLN 199. The annual advance payment is PLN 2,388, of which PLN 896 is transferred to the city where this person is registered because they have not indicated another place of residence. Bolesławiec loses income amounting to PLN 896.
