- VAT registration in Poland is required for entities exceeding a sales threshold (PLN 240,000 from January 2026) or engaging in certain activities regardless of turnover.
- Some services and goods (e.g., legal, advisory, jewellery, energy, tobacco, cars) require mandatory VAT registration regardless of sales volume.
- Registration requires submitting a VAT-R application before the tax obligation arises, but submission alone is not enough; tax authorities conduct verification checks.
- Authorities may request documents proving business legitimacy, such as lease agreements, business plans, and financing sources, and may verify business premises.
- Using a professional representative for the registration process is recommended to ensure compliance and reduce the risk of registration refusal.
