Russian-to-Polish Tax Report Translation for Platform Workers

What a Russian platform economy tax report contains

If you drive, deliver, or rent property through a platform like Uber, you are likely to receive an annual tax summary generated under DAC7 reporting requirements. These summaries are often produced in Russian when the account was created in Russia or linked to a Russian tax identification.

A typical Russian-language platform report includes: total compensation earned, any income tax withheld at source, commission and service fees charged by the platform, VAT amounts, the number of completed transactions, and the taxpayer’s Russian tax number (INN). In a Polish context, the document also often references a Polish NIP for identification. The report is an annual summary and is not a full tax filing, it is the platform’s statement of earnings that you must then report in your Polish PIT‑36.

Common Russian terms in your platform tax report

Understanding the repeated phrases in these statements makes translation faster. The table below lists the Russian terms you will see most often, their romanisation, and a plain‑English explanation with the corresponding Polish concept where helpful.

Russian (Cyrillic)	Romanisation	Meaning / Polish Equivalent
Годовой отчет	Godovoy otchyot	Annual summary (raport roczny)
Общая сумма вознаграждения	Obshchaya summa voznagrazhdeniya	Total compensation (całkowite wynagrodzenie)
Удержанный налог	Uderzhanniy nalog	Tax withheld (podatek pobrany)
Комиссия платформы	Komissiya platformy	Platform fee (prowizja platformy)
НДС	NDS	VAT (VAT / podatek od towarów i usług)
ИНН	INN	Russian taxpayer number; equivalent to Polish NIP
Количество операций	Kolichestvo operatsiy	Number of transactions (liczba transakcji)
Сумма без НДС	Summa bez NDS	Amount excluding VAT (kwota netto)
База для расчета налога	Baza dlya rascheta naloga	Tax base (podstawa opodatkowania)
Отчетный период	Otchetnyy period	Reporting period (okres rozliczeniowy)

When the summary includes a Polish NIP field, it is the tax identification number that links the income to your Polish tax file.

Why Polish tax residents translate this Russian document

Polish tax residents must declare worldwide income in their PIT‑36 annual tax return. When platform earnings are accompanied only by a Russian‑language summary, translation becomes a practical necessity. From past translations of similar platform-tax documents, we see three recurring scenarios: a taxpayer filing PIT‑36 and needing to transfer the numbers correctly; a bank or credit provider requesting proof of income for a loan application; and a Polish tax office (Urząd Skarbowy) asking for source documents during a standard review. In each case, having the Russian report in Polish, at least for your own understanding, removes a hurdle.

What Lekhak’s AI translation produces

Lekhak’s self‑service tool takes your scanned or digital Russian tax report and returns an instant, formatted DOCX. Tables, number columns, date fields, and the original layout are preserved, you get a file that mirrors the source structure so you do not waste time realigning columns. The translation is run by an AI pipeline and is designed for speed: minutes, not days.

This instant output is excellent for understanding your report, preparing a draft for your accountant, or attaching as supporting information where the authority does not demand a sworn document. It does not, however, carry a sworn translator’s signature or a certificate of accuracy; it is a working translation, not a certified one.

AI translation vs a sworn translation: which one you need for the Polish tax office

For internal review, personal accounting, or informal use, Lekhak’s AI translation is enough. If you simply need to extract the total compensation and tax‑withheld figures for your PIT‑36, the instant DOCX gives you readable Polish text within minutes.

When the Polish tax office specifically requests a sworn translation (tłumaczenie przysięgłe), the standard changes. Official audits, legal disputes, or submissions where the authority asks for a document stamped by a sworn translator typically require a certified product. For those cases, Lekhak offers certified translation on‑demand, not self‑serve, but arranged through the platform so you can meet formal requirements without leaving the workflow. Notarisation, apostille, and embassy attestation are separate steps you arrange directly with the relevant authorities; they are not part of Lekhak’s self‑service or certified offering.

When notarisation, apostille, or embassy attestation applies to a Polish tax document

For domestic Polish tax returns, notarisation or apostille is almost never needed. The tax office accepts documents in Polish, and a translation’s legal weight comes from a sworn translator’s stamp, not an apostille.

Apostille enters the picture when you plan to use the translated document outside Poland. For example, if you need to present your Polish tax return and its translation to a foreign bank or immigration authority in a country that is party to the Hague Apostille Convention, you may need the Polish original or a notarised copy to carry an apostille from the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This chain, notarisation, apostille, embassy attestation, is something you organise through government offices; Lekhak does not perform these actions. The translation itself remains one component in that process.

How to get a duplicate of your Russian tax report from the platform

If your DAC7 annual summary has been lost or you did not save the original, start in your driver‑partner or courier portal. Platforms that follow the OECD model rules for platform operators, such as Uber and Bolt, typically store a downloadable PDF under a “Tax Documents” or “DAC7” section. Look for the reporting year and download the file; it is often a PDF that can be uploaded directly to Lekhak for translation. If your account is deactivated or you no longer have access, contact the platform’s support team and request a copy of your annual tax summary. Having the original PDF ensures the AI translation processes every table and figure without guesswork.

FAQ: Russian‑to‑Polish tax return translation for platform workers

1. What is DAC7 and why did I receive a Russian‑language summary?

DAC7 is an EU directive requiring digital platforms to report income earned by sellers and service providers. If you used a platform account linked to a Russian tax ID, the platform may issue your annual summary in Russian, even if you now reside in Poland.

2. Is Lekhak’s AI translation acceptable for filing my Polish PIT‑36?

The AI translation is fit for understanding your income and transferring figures to your tax return. If the tax office does not require a sworn translation, the instant DOCX is sufficient as a working document. Lekhak also offers certified translation on‑demand when a sworn document is mandatory.

3. Does the AI translation keep the original table layout and number columns?

Yes. Lekhak’s pipeline preserves the structure of summary tables, columns of amounts, and date fields so the translated DOCX mirrors the original report, making it easy to cross‑check figures.

4. How quickly do I receive the translated DOCX?

Once you upload your Russian tax report, the AI translation completes in minutes and you can download the formatted DOCX immediately. There is no waiting for a human translator in the self‑service tier.

5. Can I use Lekhak’s translation for a bank loan application?

Many banks accept a clear, accurate AI translation as supporting documentation. If the bank insists on a sworn translator’s stamp, you can request Lekhak’s on‑demand certified translation service to meet that requirement.

6. What is the difference between a sworn translation and Lekhak’s AI output?

An AI translation is generated automatically and carries no official stamp or certificate. A sworn translation is issued by a tłumacz przysięgły and bears their seal, making it legally recognised by Polish authorities. Lekhak’s instant output is AI; certified translation is available on‑demand for official use.

7. Does Lekhak offer a sworn or certified translation service?

Lekhak’s self‑service tool provides instant AI translation. For situations that demand a certified, sworn‑equivalent document, Lekhak offers certified translation on‑demand, you arrange it through the platform after uploading your file. Notarisation and apostille are separate steps handled by government offices.

8. Will my tax data be safe and confidential?

Yes. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, and Lekhak follows strict data handling practices. Your document is processed purely for translation and is not shared with third parties.

9. How do I open the translated DOCX on my phone?

The output is a standard DOCX file. You can open it with Google Docs, Microsoft Word mobile, or any word‑processing app on Android. The formatting stays intact, so tables and columns remain readable.

10. Is there a free trial before I pay?

Yes. You can sign up without a credit card and get 250 free credits, roughly enough to translate five pages. That lets you test the Russian‑to‑Polish translation quality with your own tax report before committing.
