A VAT number<\/strong> (or VAT payer number) is a unique identification number confirming that a company is registered with tax authorities as a Value Added Tax (VAT) payer in the European Union. In Poland, the VAT number corresponds to the tax identification number NIP<\/strong> (Numer Identyfikacji Podatkowej), which is assigned to a company at the time of its registration. For conducting foreign economic activities, buying and selling, or providing services outside Poland in countries where the tax system includes Value Added Tax, a company is obliged to be registered as a VAT and VAT-UE payer.<\/p> \t\t Service fee: from PLN 500<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t All international transactions between Polish and foreign VAT-registered counterparties are subject to a zero VAT rate.
