Poland is set to implement a range of compliance simplifications as part of its simple, local and modern (‘SLIM’) VAT initiative. Poland’s SLIM VAT phase 1 was introduced at the start of 2021. SLIM VAT systems were conceived for developing countries seeking to implement or update their VAT regime. Angola’s SLIM VAT system was introduced in 2019.
