- The Polish Ministry of Finance estimates a significant reduction in the VAT gap for 2024 to 6.9%, down from 13.5% in 2023, reflecting ongoing efforts to improve tax compliance and reduce revenue losses.
- The VAT gap represents the difference between potential VAT revenues based on consumption data and actual VAT revenues collected, calculated using an accrual approach that accounts for revenue recognition periods.
- The estimation process utilizes detailed statistical data from the Central Statistical Office and involves extrapolation methods to compare theoretical VAT revenues with actual state budget revenues, with the 2024 VAT gap estimated at approximately PLN 21.5 billion.
