Poland Approves VAT Overhaul to Cut Red Tape and Tighten Enforcement

  • Poland approved VAT changes to reduce paperwork for businesses, including removing separate inventory reports, some foreign purchase declarations, and the 14-day accelerated VAT payment rule for EU vehicle purchases.
  • The overhaul also introduces operational simplifications like a new VAT warehouse regime, five-year VAT registration history checks, and streamlined procedures for small traders and deposits.
  • Enforcement is being tightened: buyers may face extended liability for unpaid taxes from unreliable sellers, and cash register rules are being updated to speed digitalisation.
  • Several EU court rulings are being implemented, including updated VAT deduction rules, broader 0% VAT treatment for certain import services, and separate VAT registration for joint farm operators.
  • Most measures take effect on 1 October 2026, with some changes starting in 2027 and 2028.
