Polish VAT · exports

Indirect exports under Polish VAT rules

The person arranging transport for the supply matters. The location of the exit port or an Incoterms label alone does not determine whether an export is indirect.

Definition

Article 2(8)(b) of the Polish VAT Act covers goods moved outside the EU by a buyer established outside Poland or on that buyer’s behalf, subject to a statutory exception for certain private transport uses. Exit must be confirmed by the competent customs authority.

Identifying the goods

Article 41(11) requires the document to show that the goods supplied are the goods exported. Paragraphs 7 and 9 apply accordingly.

Review the transaction

Compare the contract, invoice, transport documents and customs records with the actual allocation of transport responsibilities. An EXW term or foreign port alone is not decisive.
