Donald Tusk's government wants to adopt the draft law by the end of March Holidays from ZUS contributions For entrepreneurs who manage sole proprietorships.
The newspaper notes that this reform of the payment of contributions is aimed at easing self-employed Poles. “However, the minister's new proposal is surprising, because it was not what was discussed in the election campaign. – we are reading. Previously, there was talk about the possibility of suspending contributions for one month, although the published project provides for a period of up to one month. Three-month holiday from ZUS contributions.
Accordingly, according to “Fakti”, the new proposal of Donald Tusk's government has four catches:

Holidays from ZUS contributions. Benefit and catch
The newspaper notes that when they spoke Exemption from contributions for one month only, the paid leave of the self-employed was also on the table. “However, this proposal is not mentioned in the assumptions made by the Ministry of Development. Currently, contributions are deductible when calculating income tax. If the self-employed are exempt from ZUS contributions, they will pay PIT at a higher rate. amount”, we read.
Moreover, monthly holidays from ZUS contributions should mean that they are covered by the Labor Fund at that time. This solution would cost PLN 1.5 billion. “The project that the Ministry of Development is working on even provides for a three-month exception. The costs of such a solution could amount to PLN 4.5 billion,” he added. If the state does not fund three times the amount, future retirees will pay a shortfall in pension contributions – their benefits will be less.
The third catch, according to the tabloid, is the possibility of annual leave. “If so – and it was not connected with any additional conditions, it would be especially attractive for self-employed people, because thanks to this they could save PLN 5.8 thousand per year,” it is written.
The ZUS holidays will come into effect from 2025, although Minister Hetman did not rule out that the program would be introduced this year.
