Small ZUS plus in the context of the existing reductions in the payment of social security contributions

Abstract

The article is devoted primarily to the preference introduced in 2020 called „small ZUS plus”. This relief was discussed in the context of the previously functioning discount known as „small ZUS”. This study discusses the principles of calculating the contribution base and the amounts of social security contributions obtained on this basis, using the above-mentioned preferences. It also contains an approximate presentation of the conditions that must be met in order to be able to become a beneficiary of the abovementioned preferences. It also presents a tabular comparison of the amount of contributions paid by exemplary entrepreneurs who meet the criteria for applying the „small ZUS”. The above-mentioned tables present numerical values representing the years 2020 and 2021, which allows the reader to compare the situation of entrepreneurs over the period from the introduction of preferences to today.
