- Poland is raising the VAT rate on ride-sharing via digital platforms from 8% to 23%.
- This means that these platforms will be reclassified as “other transport support services” and will no longer be treated as taxi services.
- Many taxi drivers and part-time ride-sharing providers may be below the VAT registration threshold and will not be able to recover the increased costs.
- This change is in line with the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age reforms, which will make accommodation and ride-sharing platforms liable for VAT from 2025.
- The UK is already requiring full VAT liabilities on ride-sharing trips via digital platforms.
