Hi everyone In today's video I am going to talk about
reporting and refunds of Value Added Tax. the default tax period for VAT in Poland is
one calendar month.
However, the VAT reporting period, quarterly or monthly, can be selected by a business
owner or management board when registering to VAT .
Polish monthly or quarterly VAT returns are due on the 25th of the month following the
reporting period end.
Any Polish VAT due must be paid at the same time.
In the case where a business has opted to file quarterly returns but is required to
make monthly prepayments.
If there is more VAT incurred than charged then a Polish VAT credit arises this is due
back to the VAT registered business from the tax authorities.
This credit can be refunded or carried forward to offset any tax due in the next period.
A business applying for a VAT refund in Poland will be subject to time limits depending on
the nature of the transactions involved.
The current rules set a time limit of 60 days for the Polish authorities to pay back a VAT
refund.
This limit will be reduced to 25 days when a number of conditions are met.
Where the conditions are not met, the 60 days limit will remain applicable.
Also if there were no sales during the reporting period time limit can be prolonged to 180
days.
The Polish VAT law also allows direct refunds when input VAT (available for deduction) exceeds
output VAT.
A Polish business may also be entitled to the VAT refund owed by another country under
certain circumstances.
Likewise, a foreign business having seat or fixed place of business for VAT purposes outside
of Poland may be, in most cases, entitled to the refund of Polish VAT.
If the respective countries belong to the European Union, the procedure is substantially
simplified due to the EU Directive, which provides favourable rules for businesses based
in EU countries that are seeking VAT refunds in other EU countries - so called electronic
VAT refunds are possible.
Those are the main rules on VAT reporting and refund.
Hope you found this video useful.
See you next time.
