The single control file for accounting data and CIT settlements (JPK CIT) is a new obligation for the transmission of accounting data. It is the next stage of digitisation in tax settlements and implies modifications to accounting systems and existing practices. With this solution, the tax authorities will gain access to a large range of accounting and tax data, so it is worth preparing well for it.
How to submit data for JPK CIT?
JPK CIT reporting comprises two schemas:
- JPK_KR_PD – single control file_accounts_income tax – reporting on, among other things, the full journal from the books of account, the trial balance with ministry tags for accounting accounts and data on tax income and expenses. This structure is to be distinguished from the currently applicable JPK_KR schema, which does not have to be obligatorily sent to the authorities.
- JPK_ST_KR– single control file_fixed assets_accounts – concerns tax and balance sheet fixed asset records, depreciation details and information on the acquisition, production, disposal or liquidation of a fixed asset.
The transmission of structured data to the tax office will take place once a year, on the deadline for filing the CIT-8 return.
Who will be affected by the JPK CIT?
According to the regulations, the obligation will be implemented according to the following schedule:
- From 31 December 2024. – for tax capital groups and CIT taxpayers whose revenue value in the previous tax year exceeded EUR 50 million;
- From 31 December 2025. – for other CIT taxpayers who are obliged to send JPK_VAT records;
- From 31 December 2026. – for other CIT taxpayers.
What data will be recorded in JPK CIT?
The data to be reported may include information that has not been subject to accounting records so far. Therefore, the new obligation requires adequate preparation in terms of implementing changes to the accounting system or updating the chart of accounts, as well as training of accounting departments.
Additional data that will be subject to recording are:
- Taxpayer’s counterparty NIP;
- The invoice identification number in the National e-Invoice System;
- Official tags identifying individual accounting entries;
- Data confirming the acquisition, creation or deletion from the fixed assets register or intangible assets register;
- Data on the amount of the difference between the accounting result and the tax result, broken down by category.
