often knows more about our actions than we think. This time, the Internet activity of Polish women and men who sell online in this way was taken under the microscope. If you receive a letter from the tax office, it may very likely be a behavioral letter.
Why does the tax office send a letter? I want to check one thing
Poles can expect a behavioral letter from the tax office. The aim is to clarify the doubts of officials who look at the Internet activities of individual people. If a person regularly sells on popular auction platforms, they may be subject to scrutiny. As the portal mentions, up to 20 million people will be subject to it. The behavioral letter you received reads that:
The Tax Office knows about your activities. You should register your business and fulfill your tax obligations.
So if you make regular sales on platforms such as Vinted, OLX, Allegro or Amazon, and the amounts obtained are really high, you will probably receive a similar letter in your mailbox. This is because in the eyes of the tax office, such activities may bear the hallmarks of a business activity that has not been registered.
The tax office sends letters to Poles. How to behave?
What if you receive a similar behavioral response from the IRS? Appropriate explanations should then be provided. It is worth seeking help from a tax advisor or accountant to properly present the matter to the tax office. If it can be proven that the sale concerned only private items that were in your possession for at least 6 months, then the office will most likely not draw any consequences. – If we convince the officials that we are far from the company, the whole matter should fall apart – explains tax advisor Grzegorz Gębka, quoted by .
