How we help
We advise on VAT in Poland and in cross-border trade – on supplies of goods, services, imports and exports. We help establish where and when VAT becomes chargeable, how to describe the transaction on the invoice and which documents to collect so that the VAT treatment can be defended.
We also deal with tax refunds, and with excise duty and customs matters where they are linked to a transaction. Our answers are specific: what to do, how to document it and how to show it in the records. We write them so that the person who issues the invoices can use them.
A safe chain of transactions
In VAT, your own return is not all that counts. The tax office also asks whether the business checked its counterparty and whether the goods really travelled the route described in the documents. We help set up simple rules for checking suppliers and customers, and a flow of documents to back this up.
Such rules have to work day to day, not just on paper. That is why we agree them with the people who order the goods, receive them and issue the invoices. If the tax office withholds a refund or starts asking about suppliers, we take the matter further – we write about this on the Tax audits and disputes page.
