How to file a tax return in Poland or Lithuania and support your own
Those who work in Poland and Lithuania can direct 1.2–1.5% of their income tax to the activities of public organizations when filing their tax return for the past year. You won't spend anything extra; you'll simply redirect already paid taxes. Please support "Nasha Niva" this year. Here's how you can do it.
Poland
(instructions for Lithuania will be below)
In Poland, tax returns (PIT) are filed from February 15 to April 30.
To do this, you need to visit the website podatki.gov.pl
The website is available in three languages: Polish, English, and Ukrainian. After authorization, you will be directed to epit.podatki.gov.pl, where the system will prompt you to fill out the required form.
To start filing the declaration, click on Złóż PIT.
While filling out the declaration, the main thing is not to miss the item "1.5% podatku dla OPP" (transfer of 1.5% of tax due to a public organization).
In the "numer KRS wybranej organizacji" field, enter the number 0000507234 — it corresponds to the Polish partner fund FaniMani, which helps "Nasha Niva" collect a percentage of the tax.
Next, in the "Cel szczegółowy do przekazania 1.5% podatku" field, you need to enter the digits 82197 — this is our unique organization number in the FaniMani system.
Therefore, you need to be extremely careful here, because if you do not enter these numbers, the money will be sent, but the FaniMani system will not know which organization it belongs to.
Then check "Wyrażam zgodę" (I agree) and click "Zatwierdź" (confirm). Continue filling out the declaration and submit it at the end once everything is complete.
Lithuania
To file the mandatory tax declaration in Lithuania, you need to access the EDS electronic tax declaration system and click on "Prisijungti prie EDS" (connect to EDS) there.
Next, you need to select the system through which you will authorize into the EDS system.
In our example, this will be done via Swedbank, where you can choose the Russian language for the interface.
After passing authorization in "E-services", you need to select the VMI section and click "Увайсці" (Log in).
After this, you will enter the EDS portal, where the declaration filling will take place.
To start filling it out, you need to click on the globe icon.
This page is only available in Lithuanian, but further on, the interface language can be changed to Russian.
If you already have a Lithuanian residence permit from 2024 or earlier and work for a Lithuanian company, you are considered a permanent resident for tax purposes anyway.
Next, you fill out the declaration by answering the questions.
After you answer all questions, the system will offer you to generate and submit the declaration, after which you will see the amount the state owes you, or the amount you need to pay extra.
Below there will be a line stating that you have the opportunity to allocate a portion of the income tax.
There you need to click on "Я хачу падтрымаць" (I want to support).
Further, the interface will be only in Lithuanian, but it will not be difficult to figure out.
To start filling out the form, click "Pradėti" (start).
In the search bar, you need to enter the code of the organization you want to support by transferring 1.2% of the already paid income tax amount.
The number for "Nasha Niva" is 305965367. After entering our organization's code, the name of our legal entity in Lithuania will appear: Viešoji įstaiga "Nasha Niva Fund".
After selecting "Nasha Niva" (Viešoji įstaiga "Nasha Niva Fund") from the list, click on "Testi" (continue).
In the next step, in the "Mokesčio dalies dydis (procentais)" (tax portion size (in percent)) field, you enter the digits 1.2.
And then click on "Išsaugoti" (save).
After that, you need to confirm your choice again and click on "Taip, teisingi" (yes, correct).
In such a simple and completely free way for you, you can support "Nasha Niva" — a bastion of Belarusian identity.
