These ‘VAT Accounts’ have restricted access, and may generally only be used for settlement of monthly/quarterly VAT returns. Only Polish resident banks offer the VAT Accounts.
Poland had received approval from the EU to impose mandatory VAT split payments from 1 July 2019. The approval is temporary, lasting until February 2022.
