VAT Registration for Foreign Companies – Cross-border VAT Registration
This service provides comprehensive support for foreign companies in the process of VAT registration in Poland. It applies, among others, to companies that purchase and sell goods in Poland but do not have a registered office here. The service includes preparation of documentation, contact with the tax office, and advice on tax obligations resulting from business activity on the Polish market.
The obligation to register a foreign entity for VAT in Poland depends on the type of activities performed and the place of taxation. In short – if a foreign company performs activities that, according to the regulations, are subject to VAT in Poland, it must register here as a VAT taxpayer.
Most common situations when a foreign entity is required to register for VAT in Poland:
- Sale of goods in Poland
when a foreign company supplies goods to Polish customers and no special exceptions apply (e.g. B2C sales under OSS). - Import of goods into Poland
if a foreign entity imports goods into Poland and sells them on the domestic market. - Warehousing goods in Poland
e.g. when using consignment warehouses, fulfillment centers, or customs warehouses in Poland. - Provision of services where the place of taxation is
Poland
e.g. services related to real estate located in Poland, admission to events in Poland (trade fairs, conferences, sports/cultural events). - Intra-Community acquisitions and supplies of goods
(ICA/ICS)
when a foreign entity acquires or supplies goods that require VAT settlement in Poland. - Distance sales (B2C) to Polish consumers
if a foreign online store sells goods to Poland and does not use the OSS procedure or has exceeded the EU distance sales threshold (EUR 10,000).
When is registration not required?
If a foreign entity provides services to Polish companies (B2B), where the obligation to settle VAT is shifted to the buyer under the reverse charge mechanism. In such cases, registration in Poland is often not required.
