Business activity and professional football players

The Supreme Administrative Court (NSA) in the recent judgement confirms that professional football players can provide their services for the football clubs using business activities, thanks to which it is possible to choose flat taxation, the amount of which in Poland is 19%. The players who conclude their professional contracts not within business activity are obliged to pay taxes on a scale which can even reach 32%. Thanks to the statements included in the judgement, players can not only pay lower taxes, but also can pay public insurance at a different rate than employers or mandatories.

The abovementioned judgement is a subsequent statement in Polish jurisprudence, which confirms the right to set up a business activity by the player as well as deal with the tax office using possibilities given by it.
