Paragraph 6. 5 of the Act on social insurance system, persons carrying out business activity is in respect of business covered by the mandatory pension insurance, disability and accident insurance.
The determinant is running on the territory of Polish business. Insurance in this field is mandatory, which means that the entrepreneur is subject to it regardless of whether it is covered by insurance in respect of doing business in another country. (Journal of Laws of 2000 No. 28, item. 353). This means that if a person is both a Polish citizen and the other country, Poland will be considered only as a Polish citizen.

In the latter case, the obligation of insurance may be excluded by an international treaty to which Poland is a party or on the basis of Community law.
