Scope boundary

This service covers ongoing VAT compliance. If you do not yet have a Polish VAT number, start with Polish VAT registration. If you still need a Polish bank account, see bank account opening support.

How the process works

  1. Initial review
    We review your transaction model, current VAT status, filing history and source documents.
  2. Implementation
    We agree the data flow, required documents, reporting timeline and communication rules.
  3. Monthly handling
    We prepare and file the VAT reports based on the agreed workflow.
  4. Follow up
    We handle standard tax office follow up and routine refund related documentation within the agreed scope.
  5. Ongoing control
    We maintain a repeatable process instead of treating each filing as a separate exercise.

What clients usually need from this service

Monthly filing discipline

Polish VAT compliance is technical. The main issue is usually not the filing itself, but consistency between coding, supporting documents and the transaction logic behind the filing.

We organise the recurring workflow and reduce the risk of corrections caused by inconsistent source data.

Refund and tax office support

Foreign companies often expect VAT refunds or need answers to routine questions from the tax office. In practice, clean documentation and coherent transaction mapping matter more than general explanations.

We support the operational side of that process within the agreed scope.

Main compliance issues we usually see

Typical filing issues

  • Late or incomplete JPK_V7 filing.
  • Incorrect VAT classification of Polish transactions.
  • Missing or incorrect VAT-UE reporting.
  • Weak support for intra-EU transport evidence.

Typical operational issues

  • Inconsistent invoice data from foreign systems.
  • Poor mapping between logistics and invoicing.
  • Lack of control over supporting documents.
  • Refund expectations without proper documentation.
