Tax periods and deadlines for submitting VAT returns
VAT returns are submitted electronically.
The basic accounting period is one month, but companies whose turnover for the previous year does not exceed EUR 1,200,000 may opt for quarterly settlements.
The deadline for filing the return with the Tax Office is the 25th of the month following the end of the tax period. If a return is filed with errors or submitted after the deadline, companies may be subject to a penalty, which is usually interest calculated on the amount of unpaid tax. A rate of at least 8%. In the case of excess input VAT, the company may apply for a refund of the overpaid amount or leave it to be offset against future VAT liabilities.
Other information
Tax office and foreign entities
Registration with the Tax Office should be done before the start of the business, i.e. before the first taxable transaction.
Foreign entities operating in Poland must also comply with rules on, inter alia, invoicing and the archiving of invoices and records.
