The Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) has updated its RWS 3.0 form, requiring entrepreneurs to select a specific PKD classification field to remain eligible for the government’s contribution holiday program.<\/p>\n
As of June 26, 2026, ZUS has implemented a mandatory update to the RWS 3.0 form used for claiming contribution holidays. Within the de minimis aid section, a new “PKD Version” field requires entrepreneurs to specify whether their business operations are categorized under PKD 2007 or the updated PKD 2025 classification.<\/p>\n
This information is now critical for administrative verification. Failing to complete this step or entering incorrect data will result in application delays. All formalities must be submitted electronically via the eZUS platform.<\/p>\n
The contribution holiday program has seen massive participation since its launch in November 2024. To date, entrepreneurs have submitted over 3.28 million applications, with the state covering more than 4.26 billion PLN in social security contributions.<\/p>\n
ZUS reports high efficiency, having processed 99.8 percent of all submissions, with 95.3 percent resulting in full exemption from payments. Refusals remain statistically insignificant.<\/p>\n
The program allows micro-entrepreneurs to be exempt from their own social security contributions for one selected month per calendar year. This mechanism ensures coverage continuity, meaning the state assumes the burden of payment, ensuring the applicant’s future pension benefits remain unaffected.<\/p>\n
Entrepreneurs who have not yet utilized the exemption in 2026 are still eligible to apply, provided they adhere to strict timelines. The RWS application must be submitted to ZUS during the month preceding the month for which the exemption is sought. For instance, to secure a break for September, the completed RWS 3.0 form must be filed through eZUS by the end of August.<\/p>\n
What is the new requirement in the RWS 3.0 form? Since June 26, 2026, applicants must select either PKD 2007 or PKD 2025 in the “PKD Version” field within the de minimis aid section.<\/p>\n
What are the consequences of skipping this field? Omission or incorrect selection will prevent the application from being processed correctly and may delay the granting of the benefit.<\/p>\n
What specific contributions are covered? The state funds pension, disability, accident, and sickness contributions, as well as Labor Fund and Solidarity Fund payments. Health insurance and employee contributions are not included.<\/p>\n
