When you'll be invoiced
Now that your registration is complete, we'll begin issuing invoices for your monthly subscription. Our invoices are charged on the 1st of each month, based on the work we do for the previous reporting period. For example, if you need to file March's VAT return, you'll see the charge on April 1st. This is because we finalise and submit the necessary work in April.
Your monthly subscription fees will be charged to your payment method through Stripe on the 1st of each month. After the payment is processed, you will automatically receive a receipt and a VAT invoice from Stripe.
How often do you have to file a VAT return in Poland?
There are two filing frequencies in Poland (monthly and quarterly), but almost all VAT returns are filed monthly. The filing and payment deadline is the 25th day of the month following the reporting period.
