The most important changes related to reporting data in JPK_VAT include:
- Codes "GTU 01-13"– method of assigning GTU codes has been changed from the codes "01" to "13" to codes "GTU_01" to "GTU_13"; additionally, the provisions on the GTU codes has been clarified by referring some of GTU codes to CN codes according to the Combined Nomenclature (CN 2020) and PKWiU codes according to the PKWiU 2015 classification.

CHANGES IN „PROCEDURES” CODES

- providing telecommunications, broadcasting and electronic services referred to in Art. 28k of the VAT Act, to non-taxable entities with their registered office, permanent residence or place of stay in the territory of a Member State other than the territory of the country (Poland).

***
Due to the entry into force of the new rules for reporting data in the JPK_VAT structure, you should carefully analyze how the changes will affect your VAT settlements and appropriately modify the codes used so far in the JPK_VAT.
At the same time, we would like to point out that as a result of the publication of the Regulation of the Minister of Finance, the previously performed analyzes related to the correct marking of transactions in JPK_VAT may become partially outdated - thus they may require appropriate update.
In case of doubts as to the correct use of codes / showing data in the JPK_VAT structure, please contact Mazars Tax Advisory Department.
