Two labour markets, one country — and 21 days to challenge a dismissal. What Polish employment law gives you, and what B2B quietly takes away.

Europe’s fastest-growing tech hub, a 5% IP Box, and a permit that ties you to one employer. Poland decoded — including the ancestry route that hands out EU passports for free.
The CCNL binds you whether you signed it or not, the TFR accrues relentlessly — and the impatriate regime is the best recruiting weapon no Italian employer uses.
Codice fiscale first, everything else after. Three months of queues, then thirty years of eating better than anyone else in this series. The honest Italian operating manual.
The CCNL governs more of your Italian contract than your contract does — and the TFR pays you a month per year even if you resign. Most foreign employees know neither.

A 15% ceiling, no capital gains tax, no tax on foreign income ever — and a first tax bill that arrives at double what you expected. Hong Kong money, decoded.
