Travel Across Europe
A PERSONAL INSIGHT
PART ONE - Warsaw to Berlin
As the free flights are no longer available, I have been looking at train journeys from Warsaw to London, and thought I share links and good information.
(the information is based on what I've found available online on today's date - might have changed by the time of travel)
(there are more direct routes Warsaw to London, I've broken it up in stages as "my family" are travelling with young children)
Things to check with each railway policy prior boarding:
1. Are you travelling with pet and does the railway company allow pet?
2. Do I need to wear mask?
3. Are there vaccination guidelines?
4. Is there restrictions in luggage to take with?
"PKP: free travel on all PKP trains with a Ukrainian passport or ID card.
Deutsche Bahn: free travel on all Eurocity trains from Poland to Germany.
Deutsche Bahn: free travel on all trains with a Ukrainian passport, ID card or a “Help Ukraine” ticket available at a DB Reisezentrum (DB travel centres) in any train station."

It is dedicated number for Ukrainian citizens wishing to obtain information regarding PKP Intercity timetables and other passenger issues in their native language.

ПОДАТОК НА ПРИБУТОК
Податок на прибуток має нюанси та залежить від податкового резидентства – ми не можемо надавати податкові консультації, але ми розуміємо, що якщо ви перебуваєте у Великобританії довше 180 днів на рік, ви стаєте податковим резидентом, а ваш дохід в Україні класифікується як «іноземний дохід». ', що вам потрібно декларувати та сплачувати податок у Великій Британії, але це також регулюється угодами про оподаткування Великобританії та УКР. Ми додатково досліджуємо це з бухгалтерами, але це є особливим для кожної людини, і ми радимо вам звернутися за професійною консультацією з усіх питань, пов’язаних з веденням вашого бізнесу та оподаткуванням фізичних осіб.
INCOME TAX
Income Tax is nuanced and depends on tax residency - we cannot provide tax advice, but we understand that if you are in the UK for longer than 180 days a year you become a tax resident and your income in the Ukraine is classed as ‘foreign income’ that you do need to declare and pay tax on in the UK, but this is also subject to UK/UKR taxation treaties. We are investigating this further with accountants but it is specific to each individual and we would advise you seek out professional advice in all matters to do with running your business and personal taxation.
