Poland

Poland’s tax system is administered by the Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa (National Revenue Administration, KAS). As an EU member state, Poland follows the EU VAT Directive with locally adapted rates.

VAT (Podatek od towarów i usług, PTU) applies at standard, reduced, and super-reduced rates. Zero-rated supplies include exports and intra-community supplies.

Businesses are identified by their NIP (Numer Identyfikacji Podatkowej), a 10-digit tax identification number. The Polish VAT number uses the format PL followed by the 10-digit NIP.

Poland has implemented the KSeF (Krajowy System e-Faktur) national e-invoicing system, which is progressively becoming mandatory for B2B transactions. E-invoicing via PEPPOL is used for cross-border and B2G transactions.
