- Poland plans to remove reduced VAT treatment for certain non-alcoholic beverages, with the affected products moving to the standard 23% VAT rate from January 1, 2027.
- The change would apply to selected CN 2202 beverages that currently qualify for reduced VAT because they contain at least 20% fruit, vegetable, or mixed fruit-and-vegetable juice.
- Affected categories include non-alcoholic drinks with more than 0.0% and up to 0.5% alcohol, 0.0% non-alcoholic beer, dealcoholized or fermentation-stopped wine/cider with 0.0% alcohol, and beverages containing added caffeine or taurine.
- The VAT rate would rise from 5% to 23% in retail sales and from 8% to 23% in catering/hospitality supplies.
