You want to start working at Uber with your own car in Poland but are not ready to open your own business right away? This is absolutely possible! Thanks to partners such as Promin Partner, you can quickly start earning as an Uber driver without registering a business. In this article, we will подробно explain how to work at Uber with your own car legally and profitably.
Can You Work at Uber Without Opening a Business Activity?
In Poland, official business activity involves mandatory monthly contributions to ZUS (Social Insurance Institution), payment of taxes, and bookkeeping. For foreigners and those who want to “test” the job first, this process may seem complicated and risky.
Polish legislation allows you to work at Uber without registering as an entrepreneur by using a so-called settlement partner:
- Explanation of the Polish system. Działalność gospodarcza is a registered commercial activity that requires obtaining a NIP, REGON, maintaining accounting records, and making regular (often high) contributions to ZUS, even if there is no income;
- Legal options to work without registration. You can work as an employee of a partner company under a contract. The partner takes on all legal and accounting obligations;
- When Uber requires registration and when it does not. Uber always requires that the driver-partner (company) holds a taxi license. If you want to work as an individual, you must connect through a partner company. In this way, you effectively become an Uber driver without sole proprietorship, working under the partner’s legal umbrella.
