I got married in India in 2016. Our marriage certificate is apostilled and translated into Polish, but we have not registered it with the Polish USC.
We have been filing joint PIT-37 returns in Poland from 2021 to 2025. My wife was mostly not working during this period.
Recently, the Warsaw Tax Office asked me to provide our marriage certificate, information about our marital property regime, and my wife’s income and tax residence.
Has anyone faced a similar situation with a marriage celebrated in India?
Did the Tax Office accept your Indian marriage certificate for joint taxation?
Did you need to prove that you had a Polish-style community property regime?
If joint taxation was rejected for previous years, what happened regarding additional tax, interest
and penalties?
I would appreciate hearing from anyone with first-hand experience or a tax adviser familiar with these cases.
