On August 19, the Polish State Tax Administration and the German Federal Ministry of Finance reached a bilateral agreement on exchanging e-commerce platform user information to detect VAT fraud. Many e-commerce platforms have also stated that they do not rule out the possibility of taking compulsory measures such as freezing funds and store affiliation against sellers who engage in VAT evasion in Poland in the near future, and recommend that sellers plan their VAT compliance process in Poland as early as possible. Amazon began to notify sellers on its German site in the second half of the year and provided subsidies and incentives to encourage sellers to comply with financial and tax regulations. -1- Email notification asking you to upload your Polish tax number The email notification requires you to upload the Polish tax number, otherwise the warehouse establishment will be restricted. The sellers affected are basically those who have opened the pan-European plan, do not restrict German exports, use Polish and Czech warehouses, and sell to Poland.
