In accordance with the Act on the tax on goods and services of 11 March 2004, as amended. Natural persons who do not have a permanent residence in the European Union have the right to a refund of the tax paid on the purchase of goods in the Polish. The purchased goods must be exported in the personal luggage of this person, outside the territory of the European Union, intact. The Act also regulates, for example, the minimum amount of purchases enabling the use of a tax refund. For the supply of goods for which tax has been refunded to the traveller, a VAT rate of 0% applies. It follows that the refund depends on the current VAT rate for individual goods, e.g. 8% for medical devices (in 2022). The list of pharmacies cooperating with the Gdziepolek.pl portal in Bialystok can be found in the link: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/apteki/w-bialymstoku I encourage you to contact selected pharmacies. Each pharmacy using the TAX FREE system should be marked in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Finance, Funds and Regional Policy of 16 July 2021 on the model of the mark informing travelers about the possibility of purchasing goods from which the tax on goods and services are refundable, the seal of the customs authority confirming the export of goods outside the Territory of the European Union and the data contained in the TAX FREE electronic document and its printout. The above regulation also contains a description of the data contained in the document necessary to obtain a tax refund.
