Registration for VAT purposes in Poland - everything you need to know.

Upon the invitation of the Minister of Finance, RSM Poland experts voiced their opinions during tax consultations on the effects of VAT on fuel card transactions. 

As of 1 January 2020, the entire European Union (EU) will have uniform principles for documenting any transport of goods between the Member States of the Community under the intra-Community supply (ICS).

The United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union will make it impossible to apply the convenient solution, namely the simplified procedure of accounting for intra-Community trilateral transactions. Without it, it is possible that a Polish entrepreneur will have to register in the United Kingdom for VAT purposes.

You must have already heard about the principle of good faith and due diligence in the context of value added tax (VAT). This issue has been addressed many times by the courts, both Polish and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), which means that taxpayers quite often have disputes with tax authorities in this respect.

Last Wednesday, Piotr WYRWA, our Tax Consultant, held an open workshop for the students of the Poznań University of Economics and Business which was organized by Studenckie Koło Naukowe TAX (a Student Academic Society). The topic of the VAT rules applicable to intra-Community transactions in VAT was discussed.

Much has been said recently about the need for security procedures that would guarantee the status of taxpayers in good faith towards their contractors.

A shiny Porsche immediately suggests expensiveness. Something in between? By all means – one cannot overdo it one or the other way.

A landmark judgement has been passed that concerns printing of receipts in case of mobile payments with the use of a mobile phone.

This year's amendments to the Penal and Fiscal Code (PFC) and the Penal Code (PC), related to the offences against reliability of documents, have had wide repercussions among people involved in keeping the books of accounts. What is it all about? Well, since 1 January 2017, sanctions for inaccurate issuance of an invoice or a bill or for using such documents have been strengthened (Art. 62 §2 of the PFC). Currently, this act is punishable with a fine up to 720 daily rates and imprisonment for the period no shorter than one year.
