Application of Split Payment Mechanism for Advances

  • Payments exceeding 15,000 PLN for future goods or services must be made using the split payment mechanism
  • The use of the split payment mechanism also applies to advance payments
  • The use of the term “pro forma” on a document means it cannot be considered a valid invoice for VAT purposes
  • If a payment exceeds 15,000 PLN and is for goods or services listed in attachment no. 15, it must be made using the split payment mechanism
  • A pro forma invoice must be issued no later than the 15th day of the month following the month in which the advance payment was received
  • Failure to make a payment using the split payment mechanism may result in a penalty of 30% of the VAT amount on the invoice
  • A payment exceeding 15,000 PLN for future goods or services must be made using the split payment mechanism, with the term “zaliczka” instead of the invoice number in the transfer communication
