- The EU Court ruled that Polish regulations requiring businesses to wait for an invoice before deducting VAT are inconsistent with EU law.
- Businesses can now deduct VAT for the month in which the tax obligation arises (when goods/services are delivered), as long as they have the invoice when submitting their tax declaration.
- This change allows for faster VAT deductions, improves cash flow, and gives accounting departments more flexibility.
- The ruling reduces disputes, as having the invoice at declaration time is sufficient for verification.
- The decision aligns well with the new mandatory e-invoicing system (KSeF), making VAT settlements more transparent and predictable.
