The amendment of the Polish VAT Act, in force since September 1 2019, introduced regulations on the electronic database of taxpayers registered for VAT purposes in Poland (the so-called ‘white list’, or ‘e-register’).

Monika Marta Dziedzic, legal and tax advisor at MDDP, evaluates Poland’s new measures concerning payments to recipients abroad subject to a certain amount of withholding tax and what criteria must be fulfilled in order for an exemption or reduction to be applied.

The Polish Ministry of Finance is amending the VAT Act and some other acts, providing for the introduction of a mandatory split payment model for certain transactions from September 1 2019.
