Compensation for Energy Companies Before July 2024 Exempt from VAT, Court Rules

  • NSA ruled that compensations received by energy and gas companies before July 1, 2024, are not subject to VAT.
  • The dispute arose due to mechanisms introduced to prevent excessive energy price increases in Poland.
  • Companies could apply for compensation for the difference between contractual and maximum prices.
  • The taxpayer argued that compensation is not a subsidy or grant affecting VAT taxation.
  • The Director of KIS disagreed, claiming compensation impacts pricing.
  • The Warsaw Administrative Court sided with the taxpayer, stating no sufficient link between energy prices and compensation.
  • NSA upheld the favorable ruling, confirming compensations are not related to energy supplies and are excluded from VAT taxation.
