What does this mean for your organization?

If your organization supplies or trades in fuel products in Poland, these changes require attention. You may need to:

1. Review your pricing and invoicing setup
2. Ensure the correct VAT rate is applied during the applicable period
3. Adjust your excise duty calculations and VAT reporting
4. Verify product classifications (CN codes) and compliance with quality requirements

Even though the measures are temporary, incorrect application can lead to compliance risks.
