I am a retired British expatiate who is considering permanent retirement in Poland. A Polish tax advisor has informed I will not have to pay tax on my UK pension. Apparently this is part of EU law. I find this a bit unbelievable as my pension is considerably in excess of the individual tax free allowance in Poland. My pension is my only income that is not taxed at source and I would lose about 40% of it if taxed at Polish income tax rates.
Does anybody have experience / knows about this?
