- GTU codes (GTU_01–GTU_13) are mandatory labels for certain goods and services in Poland’s JPK_V7 (SAF-T) VAT reporting file, not shown on invoices but reported in the sales register.
- JPK_V7, introduced on October 1, 2020, digitized and unified monthly and quarterly VAT declarations, enhancing compliance and tax authority oversight.
- Each GTU code corresponds to a specific category (e.g., alcohol, fuels, electronics, vehicles, services).
- Errors in GTU reporting can result in a 500 PLN fine per error if not corrected/explained within 14 days; corrections require resubmitting the full XML file.
- Correct GTU classification is essential for VAT compliance and avoiding penalties in Poland.
