Supreme Administrative Court Ruling: Oil Supplies and Acquisitions Exempt from Polish VAT Regulations

• The NSA ruled that the sale of Russian-origin oil by a Polish company to EU and non-EU entities is not subject to Polish VAT.
• The WSA supported the company’s view that VAT applies only if the delivery occurs within Poland.
• The NSA confirmed that the transaction is under transit procedures, meaning VAT obligations arise where customs duties are due, not in Poland.
• The ruling emphasizes the territorial nature of VAT regulations.
