Tax authorities less likely to engage in traditional in person tax inspections
Poland’s tax administration is increasingly verifying companies through simplified checking procedures rather than traditional tax or customs audits, according to a report by MDDP and the Lewiatan Confederation. In 2025, the tax office carried out nearly 2.3 million such procedures, opening an average of 19 new cases per minute. These checks helped identify almost PLN 11 billion in tax arrears, more than 25% above the previous year.
The shift reflects the growing digitization of the tax system, with officials using data from tools such as JPK, KSeF, DAC7, and STIR to analyze companies remotely. Businesses generally accept simpler checks but want clearer rules, including formal confirmation when proceedings end, written findings, and limits on how long checks can last.
