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.
