Polish winter holidays

Yesterday I was introduced to a near neighbour, a Polish man who speaks only Polish and a little German. However his young daughter speaks very good English. It transpires that this man owns hotels in Poland, which are evidently only open in winter. I took a look at his website and it certainly looks very nice, if you like snow and winter sports. Not my idea of fun but I know some people enjoy it.

Re: Polish winter holidays

Hi

Poland is dirt cheap for holidays and the skiing is on a par with the best in the Alps.

It is absolutely freezing though.

Better to go in summer, out of the school holidays, less than £60 return for the flights.

Wroclaw is absolutely stunning and much cheaper then Krakow.

Re: Polish winter holidays

You are a lot of "Nesh" people as my mom would have said , come on get out there Wrap up just walk in the crisp air, makes your nose run. Hot sun is not good for you, it dries the skin, makes you all wrinkly.
Cold invigorating air , gets deep down in your lungs and clears them out.


No you dont believe me do you????

Hi

Why?

Very simple, tax rates are much lower here than in Poland.

Loads of Polish Companies are domiciled here in the UK because of taxation, it also applies to the self employed as well.

Money which we will lose when we leave the EU unless we maintain joint taxation rules.

This will also be a serious issue for all those UK Citizens who have retired to the EU, they will be paying Tax on their Pensions abroad, not here in the UK.

Marian (that's his name) doesn't live in the UK swimfeeders, he lives here in Spain. He also has another business, www.automan.pl. I believe he is planning on opening a restaurant here. A busy but hard working man.

Not just tax on their pensions, if you were lucky enough to have a big win on Premium Bonds you could be liable for up to 30% (Depending on which country you were in) PB's are of course totally tax free in UK

Just imagine if you were lucky to win the big PB prize, one million, and the tax man lobs a bill for £300,000 on you (30% rate in some EU countries)

Same applies to many other products which are 'tax Free' in UK (ISA's,SIPP's,Savings, etc) but not necessarily tax free in many EU countries.
and definately not after Article 50 is triggered and we are out of the EU
