New JPK_VAT – full list of registry codes

The new format of declaration for payers of value-added tax will come into force soon.

The new JPK_VAT is a uniform control file consisting of a declarative and sales record component. The declarative component – JPK_V7K or JPK_V7M, depending whether one submits declaration monthly or quarterly – will replace the current VAT statement, while the sales record component is a continuation of the previously used JPK_VAT file. Altogether, the new JPK structure will contain a complete set of information about transactions (purchases, sales) for the given accounting period.

The deadline for the new format’s premiere, however, is postponed due to the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. On Thursday, May 28th, in a special statement, the Ministry of Finance announced the postponement of the new structures from July 1st to October 1st, 2020.

“To meet the expectations of taxpayers to relieve them of new obligations in connection with the current state of the epidemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, we are postponing the deadline for obligatory submission of new JPK_VAT for all taxpayers from July 1st, 2020, to October 1st, 2020” – said the Ministry of Finance.

The new deadline applies, without exception, to all national VAT payers.

That being said, the details of the new JPK_VAT format remain unchanged

JPK_VAT – two variants

Depending on the adopted submitting procedure of the declarative component, VAT payers can choose between two formats of a new VAT declaration:

• JPK_V7M – for taxpayers submitting both declarative and sales records components monthly.
• JPK_V7K – for taxpayers submitting a sales records component monthly, but a declarative component quarterly.

This means that taxpayers reporting monthly (JPK_V7M) are obliged to send to the tax office both components regarding each month, by the 25th day of the month following the month to be reported.

While taxpayers who report quarterly must send only a sales records component specifically for the first and second month of a quarter (deadline by the 25th day after the recorded month respectively), then a sales records together with a declarative component for the third (last) month of the quarter.

Explanation of the JPK_V7M and JPK_VJK codes
