- Poland is consulting on changes to VAT refund rules for foreign taxpayers to align with the mandatory National eInvoice System (KSeF).
- EU and non-EU claimants must provide KSeF invoice identification numbers with refund applications, where available.
- If KSeF numbers are not provided, EU claimants must submit electronic or paper copies of invoices; non-EU claimants must attach paper invoices and send electronic invoices to Polish tax authorities.
- Existing rules apply to refund periods before 2026; new rules apply to periods from 2026, with transitional provisions for applications submitted before the regulation takes effect.
- Businesses should monitor these changes and assess their impact on VAT refund processes, especially regarding KSeF requirements.
