Taxation might be one of the most challenging elements of running a company. The changes are sometimes so rapid it is difficult to catch up with everything that is going on, even for industry experts. Although many of them are aware of it, errors can still happen when humans are in charge of their operations.
It is especially true with international taxations, where changes are now at least twice, if not more, times as likely as there are more authorities engaged in the process and everybody wants to push their own ideas, which in the long run is often a burden for entrepreneurs.
What is JPK
JPK_VAT is an electronic document that includes a VAT report with purchases and sales for a given tax period along with a VAT declaration (VAT-7 and VAT-7K). It should be filed by every active VAT taxpayer from October 1st, 2020. This includes micro, small, medium, and big enterprises, meaning the change will affect everybody, no matter the scale of your operations.
Its purpose is to verify VAT reports formerly filed as VAT-7 and VAT-7K. Because of that, it doesn’t apply to some entrepreneurs, such as taxi drivers, who only file VAT-12 or others who file different forms, such as VAT-8, VAT-9M, VAT-10, and VAT-14. However, with VAT-7 and its variations being one of the most popular solutions, the change will still affect most entrepreneurs operating in Poland and doing business in the country.
What is included in JPK_VAT
JPK_VAT is a complicated document. Preparing everything necessary to file it correctly might take time, and even then, the process itself is often daunting. A standard JPK_VAT form includes:
- Information about the company’s purchases and sales for a given VAT period
- Everything included in former VAT-7 or VAT-7K filings
- Additional data necessary to correctly settle the accounts
Filing JPK_VAT
Although the filing of JPK_VAT was supposed to make it easier than the previous solution, because it is now a more complex document, it creates more possibilities for errors. Every entrepreneur has to file it monthly, until the 25th day of each month, for the previous month (unless it is a Saturday or a holiday, in which case the deadline gets moved to the next business day).
There are 2 types of JPK_VAT forms, depending on the frequency of your filings. You can either send it monthly as JPK_V7M or quarterly as JPK_V7K. However, even after choosing the second option, you will still have to file it monthly, with the difference being that it is now one document, and you have to fill in a specific month’s column every month to create a form that gets completed entirely by the end of each quarter.

Why you need a JPK solution
Filing tax information can get complex but what is even more difficult is having to pay fines for errors on your files. Depending on how many errors there are, they might get extremely severe. Sometimes, they are lifted when proper changes are made, but that is not always the case.
On top of that, having made a mistake once, authorities might now pay more attention to your business, further scrutinising it, asking you for more documents, creating even more possibilities for high fines, which might at some point affect your business, maybe even to the point beyond reparation.
How it works
We offer easy-to-use SAP add-ons that you can start using today. There is no update or upgrade necessary to your software, meaning you can directly connect to it and start filing your tax reports. Once done, you can easily send them to the appropriate authority, the Ministry of Finance.
