VAT Compliance

In contrast to direct taxes, which are imposed upon tax payers, VAT is an indirect tax that is levied on the exchange of services. Accordingly, VAT is generally charged where the service is actually provided, even if the company providing the service is based in another country. In times of increasing globalization, from a VAT perspective the place of performance is increasingly being decoupled from the place from which the services are actually provided or deliveries are made.

In such situations, entrepreneurs need to register for VAT in a country other than their country of residence and are obliged to fulfill the periodical VAT reporting obligations. Due to the fact that no fixed establishment is established in this other country, no other obligations arise in this country that are typically imposed on the entrepreneurs in the country where the business is based, for example in the area of accounting, income tax or wage tax.

For who?

Our VAT compliance services are aimed primarily at foreign entrepreneurs who want to register for VAT in Poland without establishing an establishment in Poland. We have decided to focus on VAT services in order to build up expertise in this niche and to be able to offer our clients qualified and practical advice in this area.
