Poland is increasing the interest rate for late tax payments. Businesses with VAT obligations in Poland should ensure they have the processes and technology to ensure they submit returns accurately and on time.
Polish authorities had already increased the penalty this year.
Poland’s new late payment charges
The interest penalty depends on measures taken by the taxpayer.
The standard interest rate has been increased to 13.5% from 12%.
However, if the taxpayer corrects their VAT returns before the tax officer requests an amendment, then they will be subject to a reduced rate. The reduced rate is now 6.75%, up from 6%.
An increased rate applies for erroneous reports where the taxpayer understates how much VAT they owe, or when a taxpayer does not file a return.
