- The WSA in Gliwice ruled that a break in transport can prevent treating a chain transaction as an export eligible for 0% VAT.
- The case involved a Swiss VAT-registered company supplying military vehicles in Poland, ultimately intended for Ukraine.
- The vehicles were shipped from Poland to a point near the Polish-Ukrainian border, stored there for 7–10 days, then transported into Ukraine by the Ukrainian army.
- The company argued the whole operation was a single export in a chain transaction, with the final destination known from the start and supported by UE 302 documents.
- The tax authority and court took a strict view: because there were two separate transport stages, the “one uninterrupted shipment” condition was not met, so the first delivery was treated as a domestic supply rather than export.
