- A VAT Group consists of entities in the same Member State that are financially, economically, and organizationally connected.
- Member States can introduce VAT Groups as per Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC.
- Poland implemented VAT Group provisions starting 1 January 2023.
- A VAT Group acts as a single VAT taxpayer, and individual members lose their separate VAT taxpayer status.
- Transactions within the VAT Group are not subject to VAT.
- Transactions with entities outside the group are taxable, with the VAT Group being the taxpayer.
- Purchases by individual members are attributed to the entire VAT Group.
- Transactions between a company and its foreign branch are not subject to VAT as the branch is not a separate VAT taxpayer.
