Poland is set to roll back its Mandatory Disclosure Rules and simplify VAT compliance from 1 October 2026, while tightening enforcement through new limitation rules and faster overpayment recovery. The third‑party liability threshold will rise to PLN 5,000 and authorities may remit tax before the due date or determine property tax liabilities from existing data. These changes aim to reduce administrative burden and enhance enforcement against VAT abuse.
The amendments, including the MDR rollback, are scheduled to come into effect on 1 October 2026.
The threshold will increase from PLN 1,000 to PLN 5,000, raising the amount of tax payable by a third party.
If an overpayment arises from a corrected declaration, no separate overpayment application will be required, allowing faster recovery.
The limitation period will be capped at 5 years during mortgage registration, with no limitation protection for serious fiscal crimes, fully effective by the end of 2031.
