NIP (Numer Identyfikacji Podatkowej) is a tax identification number used in Poland to interact with tax authorities. For Ukrainians living or planning to operate in Poland, registration of NIP is mandatory in many situations: when opening a business, concluding civil law contracts, submitting tax returns, registering an individual entrepreneur (JDG), and in some cases when working without the status of an entrepreneur.

Formally, the procedure for obtaining NIP seems clear, but in practice it is often accompanied by errors, delays and refusals. The reason is various grounds for registration of the number, requirements of a specific tax authority, language barrier and incorrect filling out of forms. That is why legal support significantly increases the chances of quickly and correctly obtaining NIP.

When Ukrainians need legal assistance in registering NIP

Legal assistance is especially relevant if:

you plan to register a business or individual entrepreneur in Poland;
you are entering into civil law contracts (umowa zlecenie, umowa o dzieło);
you have income from Polish sources and must file declarations;
you are not sure whether you need a NIP or whether a PESEL is enough;
you have no experience in communicating with the Polish tax authorities.

A lawyer helps you correctly determine the grounds for obtaining a NIP, prepare an application and avoid typical mistakes that can lead to delays in the procedure.

How is the NIP issued in practice

The procedure for obtaining a NIP depends on the status of the person - an individual, an entrepreneur or a person planning to do business. Different forms and approaches are used in each case. The correctness of the data, the compliance of documents and compliance with deadlines are important.

The lawyer analyzes the client's situation, explains the tax consequences, prepares a full package of documents and, if necessary, contacts the tax authority. This minimizes the risk of repeated applications and additional requests.
