Although the tax simplification package, the so-called SLIM VAT2 was supposed to solve taxpayers’ problems, doubts remain. The Ministry of Finance explained in response to a parliamentary question no. 27168 how to properly settle VAT in trade with the EU after the change of regulations, which entered into force on September 7.
The MP Agnieszka Hanajczyk (KO) drew attention to the issue of purchasing goods from EU countries. The problem arises when a Polish buyer gets an invoice after three months, e.g. from a seller from Germany. In her opinion, there was a lot of chaos in practice. The buyer must settle the tax due in the tax return for the period in which the tax obligation arose and the tax charged in the current tax return. A tax arrears arise, on which the tax office demands default interest.
