Understanding Split Payment Mechanism: Obligations, Benefits, and Compliance for VAT Taxpayers

• VAT taxpayers may have additional obligations related to the tax, including the split payment mechanism (MPP).
• MPP can be applied voluntarily or obligatorily.
• MPP involves splitting the payment amount into two streams: the net amount goes to the business account, and the VAT amount goes to a special sub-account.
• MPP is mandatory for transactions involving sensitive goods listed in Annex 15 of the VAT Act.
• It applies to transactions between businesses with a gross amount of 15,000 PLN or more.
• Some businesses use MPP voluntarily to manage tax risk and improve transparency with partners.
• Funds in the VAT account can only be used in specific ways.
• Businesses should consult with accountants to decide on using split payment.
