VAT and EU VAT registration for a new company

TaxesHLBC

When to register a company for VAT, what EU VAT is and the bank account white list.

A company selling goods or services in Poland usually registers as an active VAT taxpayer. The VAT-R registration is filed electronically before the first sale.

  • EU VAT is needed for transactions with companies from other EU countries
  • the company’s bank account number is entered on the VAT taxpayer white list
  • counterparties check the white list before large payments

In the Business Package we register VAT and EU VAT together with the company.
