- The Polish Supreme Administrative Court (case I FSK 300/24, 2 Sept 2026) held that official customs documentation is not the only way to prove an export for Polish VAT purposes.
- Courier/postal tracking and delivery evidence may be sufficient to support the 0% VAT rate on exports if it credibly shows the goods left the EU and were delivered outside it.
- If the taxpayer cannot sufficiently prove export with reliable evidence, the tax authority may deny the 0% rate, apply the domestic VAT rate, and potentially impose penalties.
- Best practice remains to retain a broad set of export evidence, including customs papers, invoices, order documents, shipment tracking, proof of delivery, recipient details, and commercial/payment records.
