Tax on Lotto winnings — 10% and the PLN 2,280 threshold
· Updated: Dariusz Ostrowski
Tax and net prize
The tax rate verified on 27 September 2026 is 10%. A single prize up to PLN 2,280 is exempt; above this threshold tax applies to the full prize.
The threshold is a switch, not a deductible allowance. The organizer withholds the tax. Do not treat a proposed change of law as an enacted rate.
| Gross prize | Tax 10% | Net prize |
|---|---|---|
| PLN 2,280 | PLN 0 | PLN 2,280 |
| PLN 2,281 | PLN 228.10 | PLN 2,052.90 |
| PLN 10,000 | PLN 1,000 | PLN 9,000 |
| PLN 100,000 | PLN 10,000 | PLN 90,000 |
The tax exemption boundary and the retail payout boundary are separate rules. Consult LOTTO for the payout location and claim period for your game.
