- Poland has enacted VAT amendments to simplify settlement of VAT on imports and exports of goods, reducing unnecessary documentation burdens on businesses and aligning rules with EU changes for consignments valued up to EUR 150.
- Importers will no longer need to provide a separate, current certificate proving active VAT registration to use simplified import VAT procedures; tax authorities may verify VAT status themselves.
- The rules for applying 0% VAT on exports are being relaxed: proof of export outside the EU may be established with documents from a carrier or freight forwarder, rather than depending solely on a specific customs document.
- The changes are intended to prevent genuine exports from being denied 0% VAT treatment merely because the relevant customs message/document is missing.
