- 03. The Government adopted a law on the list of VAT taxable persons. From 1 January 2020 payment on account other than those disclosed in the list shall not be included in the taxpayer's costs.
The list of entities registered as VAT payers will be kept by the head of the KAS on the BIP website of the Ministry of Finance, in electronic form. There will be data:
- •
- taxable persons not registered with VAT by the head of the tax office,
- •
- taxable persons who have been removed from the register,
- •
- entrepreneurs whose VAT registration has been reinstated,
- •
- taxable persons registered as taxable persons active and exempt from that tax.
The list will provide information on the current status of registration of counterparties on the selected day, using a specific access criterion, i.e. after the NIP number or part of the name(s) of the searched entity. The history of registration of counterparties for VAT purposes will also be made available five years back.
What is most important – in the list we will also find information on the numbers of the entrepreneur's bank accounts as indicated in the identification declaration or update report. In order to be able to amend this, it abolished the inclusion of fiscal secrecy in the account numbers opened in connection with its economic activity.
Tax payers will be obliged to make payments only to the account listed. Otherwise, payment cannot be included in the cost of obtaining revenue.
The provisions relating to the list will enter into force accordingly from 1 September 2019 and from 1 September 2020 in the case of regulations with consequences for contributions to an account other than those disclosed in the list.
