Fiscal subject related
General information
The conclusion is that in Poland, the VAT taxation of cash bonuses paid to buyers depends on the nature of the bonus. If a cash bonus is effectively a payment for a service provided, it should be documented with an invoice and be subject to VAT. This is contingent on a clear and direct link between the payment and the service, indicating that the bonus is a genuine remuneration for the service. However, if the bonus is not tied to any specific service or benefit provided by the recipient, it does not constitute a payment for a service and is not subject to VAT. This distinction is crucial for taxpayers to ensure compliance with VAT regulations and proper documentation of transactions. The key takeaway is that only bonuses directly related to a service provided are taxable under VAT rules.
