Landmark NSA ruling on VAT refund for incentive program costs – implications for industries.

  • The Supreme Administrative Court ruled on the issue of VAT taxation of costs related to incentive programs based on shares
  • The case involved a company in the insurance industry participating in an international incentive program
  • The company argued that the costs associated with the program should not be subject to VAT as they were not receiving a service
  • The tax authority argued that the costs were taxable as the company was acquiring services from the program organizer
  • The tax authority concluded that the company should recognize the import of services as taxable at the standard VAT rate of 23%
  • The Regional Administrative Court in Warsaw upheld the tax authority’s decision and dismissed the company’s appeal
