As from first of July 2018, a new VAT regulation implementing a mechanism that is called split payment will come into force.
General idea: Payment for an invoice will be split between two bank accounts; net value will be transferred to the regular bank account and the VAT value will be transferred to the VAT bank account.
Payments using the split payment mechanism shall be made in Polish zlotys by using a bank transfer message that is provided by a bank or a savings and credit union, intended to make payments in a split payment mechanism, in which the taxpayer indicates:
- The amount that corresponds to all or part of the tax amount that results from the invoice to be paid in the split payment mechanism.
- The amount that corresponds to all or part of the gross sales value.
- Invoice number, in connection with which the payment is made.
- The number by which the supplier of the good or service provider is identified for tax purposes.
