Poland adds Slovakia to VAT data fraud exchange

Slovakia and Poland have signed an automatic exchange of VAT data agreement. The agreement will facilitate transfer of transactional-level data to help both countries detect cross-border VAT fraud. Poland already has similar arrangements with German, Czech, Hungary and Lithuania.

The agreement will come into effect from 1 June 2021, with data transfers commencing in August. For accurate VAT determination on complex transactions, try our VAT Calculator or VAT Auditor services.

Poland has been one of the most successful countries at reducing its VAT Gap – the difference between VAT forecast revenues and actual receipts. It will also facilitate the instant sharing of data to expose missing trader and carousel fraud – which exploits a zero-rating VAT loophole in B2B transactions across EU borders.
