- A taxpayer can get a VAT refund in Poland if their input tax exceeds their output tax.
- The refund can be allocated to a VAT account for future settlements or paid directly to the taxpayer’s bank account.
- Input VAT is charged on goods and services purchased by a business.
- Output VAT is charged on goods and services sold by a business.
