        Assumptions and limits

        Show what this helper assumes
        • Seller is based in Poland and preparing a sales invoice.
        • This helper focuses on Polish VAT wording and VAT field instructions.
        • It does not calculate foreign VAT, GST, sales tax, or foreign invoice wording.
        • It does not choose a VAT rate for every product. If you do not know the rate, leave it as Not sure.
        • Mixed packages, transport, platform sales, and unusual goods flows may need a separate VAT check before one invoice note is safe.

        FAQ

        What does reverse charge mean on my invoice?

        It means the client handles VAT on their side. For this result, invoice the net amount and do not add Polish VAT. The Polish note is odwrotne obciążenie.

        What if Polish VAT applies?

        For a normal taxable Polish result, you usually use the VAT rate field instead of adding a legal note. The helper shows the rate field text when you choose the rate.

        What if I use the small VAT exemption?

        Use the small-exemption path only if you are still under PLN 240,000 including this invoice and the activity can use that exemption. The helper then shows the Article 113 note.

        What if the result says VAT in the customer’s country?

        That means this helper should not create a Polish VAT note. Use the VAT in the customer’s country setup in your invoice system instead.
