On October 26, the Polish Council of Ministers confirmed that it will introduce a new SAF-T scheme (JPK_VDEK) aimed at replacing the VAT-7 and VAT-7K declarations. The draft legislation will become available during the fourth quarter of 2018. If enacted, taxpayers will submit only one document, the JPK_VDEK file, without additional attachments. The Ministry of Finance has communicated that JPK_VDEK will not replace the current structure or VAT returns until July 2019 at earliest.
