As assured by the Ministry of Finance, the draft includes solutions which simplify and expedite VAT settlement.
Changes include:
- Increasing the sale value limit for a small taxpayer from EUR 1.2 million to EUR 2 million.
- Removing the requirement to have an invoice in case of a deduction of input tax on intra-Community acquisition of goods.
- Clarification as to the period in which the intra-Community supply of goods should be declared in case of the receipt of documents confirming the transaction entitling the application of the 0% rate after the lapse of 3 months (the moment when the tax obligation arises instead of the moment of delivery).
- Clarifying the principle of applying the conversion rate for correcting invoices where the invoice was issued in a foreign currency.
- Introducing the possibility of submitting corrections to declarations outside the OSS and IOSS systems directly to the Łódź Tax Office.
- Eliminating the obligation of agreeing with the head of the Tax Office in the form of a protocol of proportions to deduct input tax. However, a requirement will be introduced to notify the head of the Tax Office as to the adopted proportion.
- Increasing the amount from the current PLN 500 to PLN 10,000, allowing the proportion of input tax deduction determined by the taxpayer to be considered as 100%, in a situation where the proportion exceeds 98%.
- Introducing the possibility of resigning from making the correction if the difference between the preliminary and final proportion does not exceed 2%.
- Introducing the possibility of abandoning the obligation to print fiscal documents when keeping records of sales using cash registers and introducing a new system for distributing electronic receipts.
- Simplifying the reporting of invoicing settlements, e.g. adapting the conditions for issuing invoices to the e-receipt.
- Introducing the additional possibility for "third parties" to free themselves from joint liability.
- Unification of the provisions on the rules for issuing and using WIS and WIA and the abolition of the fee for the application for the issuance of WIS.
- Expanding the possibility of disposing of funds accumulated in the VAT account - it will be possible to use them to pay taxes on the extraction of certain minerals, sugar tax, shipbuilding tax, small-bottled alcohol fee, and tonnage tax
The planned changes to the SLIM VAT3 package are set to enter into force on April 1, 2023.
