Global Daily Tax News, Poland Waives Electronic Transaction Reporting Penalties, (Nov 22, 2024)

Polish authorities have confirmed a reprieve for businesses from the obligation to integrate cash registers with payment terminals.

The requirement, which was to be introduced from January 2025, has been postponed until the end of March 2025, enabling businesses to avoid application of a potential fine of PLN5,000 for failure to do so.

The Government intends to remove this obligation altogether, in legislation that will soon be enacted. Under this legislation, the obligation on businesses will be removed in favor of permanent reporting requirements instead on settlement agents in relation to payment transactions.

The tax agency has confirmed settlement agents will not be required to share data with the tax agency based on information from payment terminals during the first quarter of the year.
