Maximizing VAT Savings: Strategies for Year-End and New Year Optimization

• Polish legislation allows taxpayers to make additional savings depending on how settlements are performed.
• Savings can be made by structuring transactions in a certain way and by analyzing existing documentation.
• Reviewing purchase invoices from December 2018 – November 2019 can reveal instances where input tax was not deducted due to doubts about the possibility.
• Overpaid VAT can be recovered by reviewing sales invoices, particularly for the possibility of reducing tax from corrective invoices or from applying an excessively high VAT rate.
• International transactions can be optimized to maintain liquidity, particularly by taking advantage of reduced rates and exemptions for businesses sourcing goods from outside the EU.
• Indirect discounts, such as those common in the retail industry, can result in savings without the need to issue an invoice.
• Domestic supplies can be taxed at a 0 percent rate if the goods are used for the supply of services.
• Businesses supplying large quantities of goods can treat the volume of goods supplied as a continuous supply, reducing the burden of establishing chargeability for each supply and increasing the efficiency of the invoicing process.
