- Poland introduced the White List of VAT Taxpayers to tighten the tax system and combat VAT fraud, especially carousel fraud.
- The White List is an online, daily-updated register for verifying VAT taxpayer status and bank accounts, replacing previous registers.
- Payments over PLN 15,000 to accounts not on the list can result in loss of tax-deductible status and joint VAT liability, unless split payment or notification procedures are followed.
- The system encourages due diligence in selecting business partners, aiming to increase transaction safety and reduce shadow economy risks.
- The White List is accessible via the Ministry of Finance website and allows intuitive searches by tax ID or name.
