FAQ
To do so, you should apply to the Foundation via an application form, by phone or email.

If you are a student and under the age of 26, then no matter what kind of venture you are running you do not pay Social Insurance Contribution (ZUS) or income tax (PIT). If you do not meet these requirements, and you create some works (results) as part of your venture, then top-down you are exempt from paying ZUS, because we pay out your profit on the basis of a specified task contract.
In the case of commercial industries (e-commerce, including dropshipping), your salary is paid on the basis of a contract of mandate, which, in the absence of student status up to the age of 26 or no other title to social security (employment contract or contract of mandate for a minimum of PLN 3010 gross), you have the obligation to pay ZUS and PIT on each contract of mandate, which costs 44%.
