Court rules: ZUS contributions paid by insured employees cannot be written off

A Polish court has ruled that social insurance contributions financed by insured employees — rather than by the employer as the contribution payer — cannot be written off by ZUS, the Polish social insurance institution. The case involved an entrepreneur who had fallen behind on contributions for his employees and applied for their cancellation citing financial hardship. The court determined that the debt write-off rule does not apply to contributions funded by the insured themselves, calling it a "disputed exception to the rule."
