0% VAT for Imported Goods Transport: Customs Document Is Not the Only Proof

  • The NSA ruled that 0% VAT on international transport of imported goods is not automatically excluded just because the taxpayer lacks a Polish customs document.
  • What matters is whether the transport service value was actually included in the customs import tax base, and this can be proved with other reliable documents.
  • In this case, the company only mentioned having a CMR and invoice, so the tax authority’s negative conclusion was upheld.
  • The decision is important for transport businesses because it broadens the possible evidence for applying the 0% VAT rate.
  • It also shows that in tax ruling requests, the stated facts and documents must be complete, since authorities and courts are bound by that description.
