Date note: Gemini candidate audit (2026-09-08), confidence: likely. The end-of-month-after-quarter deadline is the well-established EU-wide OSS rule, consistent with the same rule already verified for Lithuania in the sibling gemini-lt-verified-gaps.json audit; not independently re-confirmed against podatki.gov.pl this session.
Every quarter (from October), due by the 31st. · Due by the last day of the month following each calendar quarter (30 Apr for Q1, 31 Jul for Q2, 31 Oct for Q3, 31 Jan for Q4). Only applies to businesses voluntarily registered for the OSS Union scheme.

Who is affected
Poland-registered e-commerce and services businesses selling goods or digital/other services to consumers in other EU countries that have opted into the Union OSS scheme instead of registering for VAT separately in each destination country.
