JDG Accounting Services
Managing a JDG independently is possible. Until the first audit, the first ZUS fine, or the first mistake in choosing a tax form. Accounting for a JDG in Poland is structured in such a way that one misstep costs money. Sometimes, big money. Not because the rules are complex, but because they are numerous, they change, and every exception has its exception. A JDG is one of the business forms in Poland: if you're interested in the full range of formats, check out our accounting services in Poland.
What an accountant takes on for a sole proprietor
We maintain full accounting records:
- choosing and changing the form of taxation (skala podatkowa, podatek liniowy, ryczałt; karta podatkowa has been closed to new sole traders since 2022)
- monthly and quarterly PIT calculations
- preparation and submission of deklaracji podatковых (tax declarations)
- calculation of składek ZUS (ZUS contributions) — including preferencyjne składki (preferential contributions) and ulgę na start (start relief)
- bookkeeping for JDG in the format of KPiR or ewidencji przychodów (revenue records)
- handling VAT
- communication with the urzędem skarbowym (tax office)
A sole proprietor gets a single point of contact instead of a stack of manuals.
Why the form of taxation is not a one-time decision
Choosing between ryczałtem and podatkiem liniowym is not a question of "what is cheaper right now." It is a question of expense structure, planned income, and the growth horizon.
One of our clients — a freelance developer, self-employed under Polish law — came to us after two years on ryczałcie. The calculation showed that switching to podatek liniowy, taking into account real expenses for equipment, software, and a home office, reduced the tax burden by 23% with the same turnover. The difference was about 14,000 PLN per year.
We recommend a tax form only after analyzing the income and expense structure and a 12-month forecast. We do not base our recommendations on the rate's popularity. If a business has grown to a level where the JDG is no longer optimal, the next step is accounting services for Sp. z o.o.
When it is worth finding an accountant for a sole proprietor: an honest answer
1
If the turnover is minimal, the activity is completely uniform, and you are ready to regularly track changes in Polish legislation — basic accounting can be managed independently via KSeF and software like inFakt or wFirma.
2
The downside: any growth, the addition of foreign clients, or the first hire—and the cost of error increases sharply. Hiring personnel is a separate area with its own requirements: HR records in Poland are based on a different set of processes and documents.
JDG accounting services: how we work
1
We take on a limited number of projects at the same time
2
So that each client receives real attention rather than becoming a document flow in a queue
3
Before starting, we carry out a diagnostic review
4
We look at the current form of taxation, ZUS history, and income structure
5
If we see potential for optimization, we say so directly, backed by numbers
Three scenarios that cost more than they seem
1
Independent accounting without understanding ZUS
The entrepreneur loses the right to preferencyjne składki due to an incorrectly calculated deadline, misses the możliwość skorzystania z ulgi na start (opportunity to use the start relief), or incorrectly determines the podstawę wymiarу składek (basis for calculating contributions). A retroactive recalculation with interest is the standard result.
2
Issuing faktur VAT without registering as a płatnik VAT
The status of zwolnienie podmiotowe up to PLN 240,000 is not universal protection. This especially concerns foreign entrepreneurs: for a number of services — consulting with foreign counterparties, electronic services — registration as a VAT payer (płatnik VAT) is mandatory from the first transaction.
3
Incorrect PKD when choosing ryczałt
The tax rate depends directly on the activity code. Whether it's 8.5% or 15% is not a formal difference. Entrepreneurs who operate in several different fields often use the wrong tax rate for years. Under control, it's arrears plus additional taxes. If you already have an accountant but your accounting is questionable, changing your accounting firm allows you to transition without data loss or reporting disruptions.

I want to sincerely thank Latwy Start and especially Olga for the excellent work and support at every step.
Olga is a true professional and at the same time a very caring, attentive person. From the very start she guided me step by step: she helped me gather the documents and explained everything in detail, and then took on all the organizational matters and completely removed the stress that usually comes with such procedures.
I'm very happy to recommend her to anyone who values professionalism, reliability and a human touch. And I will absolutely turn to her again.

I got my permanent residence card (karta stałego pobytu) with the help of Latwy Start, based on my Polish roots. I didn't really look into it myself. They told me which documents were needed and where to go. Got it all done, and now the card is in my hands.

Łatwy Start is a great choice for an IT specialist, everything runs like clockwork. A big plus is the full transparency about how invoicing (faktury) and payments are handled.

I was applying for a permanent residence card (karta stałego pobytu), and Krystyna guided me through it. Everything was fine: a friendly attitude, all the information provided on time, and clear, detailed explanations. The whole process went smoothly and without any unnecessary stress.

I want to leave a review about Latwy Start, and specifically about working with Olga. She is a true professional and a very pleasant person.
Olga helped me at every stage: from gathering the documents, where she constantly advised me and sent examples of how to fill them in so everything would be perfect, all the way to the visit to the urząd (office), where she went with me and completely took away the stress that comes with the procedure.
After I submitted the application, Olga kept me regularly updated on the status of my case and did everything she could to have it processed faster.
I'm incredibly happy with her work and will definitely turn to her again. Today I picked up my first card, valid for 3 years, and I know for sure - without Olga I wouldn't have managed!☺️

I'd like to leave a positive review about this company's services. My curator was Olga. I got my residence card (karta pobytu) and I liked everything: I received information about all the details, Olga answered every question, even the silliest ones) Nothing was forgotten, the result - the card - is in hand, I recommend them!

I’m really thankful to Olga for all her help. From answering the questions to receiving the residence permit. The process was smooth and there was no stress. That took only 5 months from application to obtainment.

I'm giving 1 star. I was planning to start working with them through the incubator. I sent 3 messages - by email and through the form on the site, messaged them on Instagram, made 2 calls (no answer). I wasted a week waiting. They simply ignored me. How can you trust this service if the foundation can't even reply to a message and send documents to review. Waiting for an explanation.

I highly recommend Łatwy Start! Thanks to them, my two kids and I received 3-year residence cards without any stress. Special thanks to manager Kristina — she was extremely helpful and even managed to speed up the process for my children. Excellent service, very satisfied!
