Morawiecki: small businesses will not pay social security for six months

Small entrepreneurs who earn less than half of minimum wage will not have to pay social security contributions for the six months of their activity, said deputy PM Mateusz Morawiecki. The new regulation is part of the so-called “Business Constitution,” which introduces a new category of economic activity – “negligible activity,” which need not be registered with social security fund ZUS. Since January 1, 2017 minimum wage has remained at PLN 2,000 a month (before tax). In 2018 it will be increased to PLN 2,100.
