Poland VAT Calculator

Poland standard VAT rate is 23%, applied to most goods and services. Reduced rates are 8% (food, restaurants, construction) and 5% (books, bread, dairy). These rates have been stable since 2011.

The 8% rate applies to food products, restaurant and catering services, construction and renovation of residential buildings, medical equipment, and pharmaceutical products. Note that basic food staples like bread and dairy attract the even lower 5% rate.

Divide the brutto (gross) price by (1 + rate). At 23%: netto = brutto / 1.23. For 246 PLN brutto: netto = 246 / 1.23 = 200 PLN, VAT = 46 PLN. At 8%: divide by 1.08. At 5%: divide by 1.05.

Businesses must register for VAT if annual taxable turnover exceeds 200,000 PLN (approximately 46,000 EUR). Below this threshold, businesses can use the VAT exemption (zwolnienie podmiotowe). E-commerce sellers to other EU countries have a separate threshold under the OSS system.

The MPP (mechanizm podzielonej platnosci) requires the buyer to split B2B payments: the net amount goes to the seller's regular account, and the VAT amount goes to a dedicated VAT account. It is mandatory for invoices above 15,000 PLN covering goods and services listed in Annex 15 of the Polish VAT Act.
