- From February 1, 2026, using the National e-Invoicing System (KSeF) is mandatory for VAT settlements in Poland, changing invoice circulation, verification, and data access for tax authorities.
- The standard VAT refund period is shortened from 60 to 40 days, improving business cash flow.
- VAT refund can be transferred to a standard or VAT bank account, regardless of the type of purchase, VAT rate, or whether the transaction is taxed in Poland.
- Refund deadlines: 40 days (standard), 25 days (shortened with conditions), 15 days (preferential for certain electronic cash register users), and 180 days (extended if no taxable activity).
- Proper fulfillment of formal requirements and correct tax settlement are crucial for timely VAT refunds.
