Tax offices across Poland are holding an open day, Saturday, to help Poles fill out their tax return forms before the deadline, which this year falls on 2 May.

Media reports that Polish taxpayers often wait until the very last moment to file their self-assessment tax documents, a sign of which are the large queues aften seen in tax offices throughout the last days of April.

People who are filing their returns may also do so by registered post, or via the internet, an option taken up by over 800,000 Polish taxpayers this year, as opposed to only 330,000 e-declarations returned in 2010.

Meanwhile, Poland’s Ministry of Finance is urging taxpayers to donate one percent of their tax to pro bono instutions, with simpler instructions than previous years to make it easier to donate the money. (jb)
