Tax adjustments in VAT, CIT, TP and customs | Everything you need to know before closing the year

Duration: 4h | Access fee: PLN 890 net

The end of the year is getting closer and closer. Not only for companies with a calendar-based fiscal year is this the time for doing the final settlement for the entire year 2022. It is still worth checking the settlements carefully, with a view to whether any adjustments to the settlements or prices/conditions may be necessary.

Adjustments raise numerous questions, among others the following ones:

  • Should the settlement be included in the tax result retroactively or on an ongoing basis?
  • What conditions need to be met for the adjustment to be recognised in the tax result at all?
  • Will it be necessary to issue an invoice?
  • Should VAT on the adjustment be recognised on an ongoing basis or in the period subject to adjustment?
  • Will the customs value of the imported goods change?
  • Does the adjustment constitute a so-called transfer pricing adjustment requiring reporting?

The issue of adjustments still raises many questions of interpretation, both in terms of definitions, their accounting and the individual conditions for a secure tax settlement. Accounting for adjustments in VAT and customs settlements is yet another challenge.  In the event of a change in the originally invoiced prices between related parties, such an adjustment may have to be reported and included in the transfer pricing documentation.

Therefore, it is worth addressing this topic now in order to close the tax year with a clear head and to be prepared for the possible consequences of making adjustments after the end of the year.
