VAT groups in Poland: Grupa VAT explained

Polish entities that are financially, economically and organisationally linked can form a VAT group under a group agreement.

General information only, not tax advice. Rules change, so check the official sources at the bottom of this page before you act.

The regime

VAT group, article 15a of the VAT Act

Who can join

Entities in Poland that conclude a VAT group agreement and meet the links the law requires.

How it works

Configure the group in Taxera → Prepare each member from ERP data → Consolidate at group level, with adjustments → Review the group total → File the group return

Key points and dates for Poland

  1. Agreement
    A group agreement is needed to form the group

What the group return covers

The group is treated as one taxpayer and files one combined return, with one representative acting for the group.

What your ERP has to deliver

Taxera needs the VAT data of every member company code, tagged to the right group, so each member's figures can be prepared and then consolidated. Entities outside the group stay on the standard VAT return.

Practical insights

  • Review the group agreement and the link tests before joining.

Common pitfalls

  • Joining without checking the link tests.
