Lump‑sum tax is easy to calculate once you have the correct rate and a clean revenue record. Below is a clear step‑by‑step scheme, practical tips and the most common mistakes, so you can plan your tax without surprises.

For broader context, see Lump‑sum — basics.

Step 1: identify the correct rate

Start by determining the rate that applies to your activity. The rate follows the service/sales type and PKWiU classification. This is the most important step — a wrong rate can lead to underpayment and interest.

See: Lump‑sum rates — how to choose.

Step 2: calculate revenue

Lump‑sum is calculated from revenue, not income. That means no cost deductions. In practice, you need a reliable revenue register.

More on the register: Revenue record on lump‑sum.

Step 3: compute the advance

The advance is revenue for a given period (month/quarter) multiplied by the applicable rate. Keep in mind:

  • revenue may be seasonal,
  • different revenue streams may have different rates,
  • rate misclassification is the most frequent error.

Step 4: include the health contribution

On lump‑sum, the health contribution is threshold‑based and depends on annual revenue. It is not a simple percentage. It affects the total tax burden.

Details: Health contribution on lump‑sum.

Step 5: annual settlement (PIT‑28)

At year‑end you submit PIT‑28. It summarizes all lump‑sum revenue and confirms whether advances were correct. See: Lump‑sum — annual settlement.

Practical calculation flow (no numbers)

  1. Identify the correct rate.
  2. Sum revenue from the register.
  3. Multiply revenue by the rate.
  4. Account for the health contribution impact.
  5. Record the result as the advance and monitor annual thresholds.

Common calculation mistakes

  • using the wrong rate for a service,
  • mixing revenue taxed at different rates,
  • incomplete revenue records,
  • ignoring health‑contribution thresholds,
  • skipping comparison with other tax forms.

When to compare with other forms

Lump‑sum does not always win. If costs are high or you use reliefs on the scale, compare with alternatives: Lump‑sum vs scale and flat tax.

Checklist before settling

  • confirm the correct rate,
  • verify the revenue register,
  • assess the health contribution impact,
  • prepare PIT‑28 inputs,
  • compare with another form if uncertain.
