Penalties

What non-compliance can cost in Poland

The maximum reported penalty in Poland is Up to 10× the average monthly wage, capped at 10% of annual turnover — no flat PLN 100,000 figure exists in the law. Penalties are set nationally under Article 30 of the directive, which requires them to be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.

The ≈ €25,000 / PLN 100,000 figure in some matrices is not in the law.

Cure period

A warning requiring corrective action precedes fines; fines apply only to persistent violations.

Complaints & enforcement

How a complaint reaches a penalty in Poland

Complaints go to PFRON or the relevant sector surveillance authority.

Scope

Who must comply

The obligations are the same EU-wide: any business placing covered products or providing covered services to consumers in Poland is in scope, including companies based outside the EU. Micro-enterprises are exempt for services only. See the full scope and exemptions on the overview.
