Poland Proposes Major VAT Reform with Joint Liability and VAT Warehouses

  • The Polish Ministry of Finance published an updated VAT reform draft bill on 20 May 2026, with most changes planned for 1 October 2026 and some for 2027–2028.
  • The bill expands joint VAT liability for buyers in more cases, including split payments, invoices from nonexistent entities, fictitious transactions, false amounts, and certain construction and intangible services.
  • It introduces VAT warehouses from 1 January 2027, allowing goods to be stored without immediate VAT payment and supporting zero-rated intra-EU trade.
  • It standardizes VAT rules for electricity supply and updates VAT/NIP registration procedures, including stricter reinstatement requirements and aligned NIP revocation rules.
  • From July 2028, a modernized tax-free system would simplify VAT refunds for travelers leaving the EU through new electronic devices at exit points.
