Accounting for pilots and flight crew

Industry offers · Aviation

We keep the books for pilots, instructors and flight crew — whether you run a sole proprietorship or need to settle income earned from a foreign airline. We know this industry and speak its language.

Industry specifics
  • Business form: most often a sole proprietorship or your own company; many pilots provide B2B services to the airline or an agency, and some are employed by foreign carriers.
  • Flying for a foreign airline? We’ll settle your Polish PIT on foreign income, apply the right double-taxation treaty and the abolition relief within its current limit.
  • You usually work on your own, with no employees — so we don’t burden you with payroll. And if you do hire someone, we handle that too.
Forms of taxation

As a sole proprietor you can choose among three forms — and we’ll help you pick the most advantageous for your situation:

Scale 12% / 32%
Linear 19%
Flat rate 8.5% piloting services (PKWiU 51.10.1)
Typical costs in the trade

We know the items that come up in this job — and which ones, and on what terms, can be booked as costs (under the scale and linear tax):

  • Training (type rating, recurrent) and EASA licence renewals
  • Class 1 aviation medical exams
  • ICAO English proficiency exams
  • Aviation headset, tablet / EFB, equipment
  • Uniform and accessories
  • Per-diems, commuting and lodging near base (crash-pad)
  • Professional and loss-of-licence insurance
Under the flat rate you don’t deduct costs, but the rate is low. Under the scale and linear tax, costs reduce your tax — we’ll match the form to your real spending.
