Courier taxes sound scary, but in practice they are simple. The key point: students under 26 usually pay no tax, and otherwise it is most often an 8.5% flat-rate (ryczałt) on income.
Students under 26
If you are under 26 and a student, you usually qualify for an income-tax exemption (the relief for young people). It is one reason delivery is popular among students.
The 8.5% flat-rate
For other couriers the most common and simplest form is the flat-rate, most often 8.5% on income. You do not need complex bookkeeping; settlement is simplified.
