VAT compliance and fiscal representative for non-EU companies

There is a legal requirement for a formal agreement to be signed between the taxpayer and their fiscal representative. The agreement also needs to be submitted to the Polish tax authorities. The fiscal representative is also obliged to take specific actions on behalf of the taxpayer and to fulfil the taxpayer’s tax obligations.

Tax representative services in Poland

There are only a limited number of firms that provide tax representative services in Poland, as a fiscal representative is jointly liable with the taxpayer for all its VAT liabilities. Furthermore, only an individual or an entity registered as a tax adviser or registered as an accountant may be appointed as a fiscal representative and provide fiscal representation services. 

Crowe Poland offers such fiscal representation services: underpinned by the experience and extensive expert knowledge of our staff, we have represented many of our clients as their fiscal representative for many years.
