On 28 May 2020, the Polish Ministry of Finance announced that compulsory filing by all taxpayers of the new combined JPK_VAT uniform control file and VAT return structure has been deferred to 1 October 2020 due to compliance challenges arising from coronavirus, according to a Gazeta Prawna report. It was previously deferred to 1 July as part of the government’s Tarczy Antykryzysowej Coronavirus Anti Crisis Shield. It is therefore anticipated that the first filing under the new structure will be the monthly JPK_V7M for October 2020, due by 25 November 2020.
