What is the Polish excise tax?

Akcyza is a Polish excise duty that may apply when a passenger car is brought into Poland. Whether and how much is due depends on classification, propulsion, engine characteristics and other legal factors.

Which documents are needed?

Prepare purchase paperwork, vehicle identification and technical data. The declaration and supporting documents must reflect the real transaction; do not guess values or engine information.

Where to verify deadlines and exemptions

Use official Polish tax administration materials and the PUESC/e-Tax services applicable to your case. Rates and deadlines can change, and special vehicle categories may have different treatment.

Keep transport and tax separate

Transport quotes cover the carriage service as agreed. Tax, registration and translation expenses should be budgeted separately unless a written offer explicitly includes them.

How to arrange transport

Tell us where the vehicle is and where it needs to go. We will check the route, available carrier capacity and provide a tailored quote.

  1. Send both locations: Provide the collection postcode in Germany and delivery postcode in Poland.
  2. Describe the vehicle: Specify make, model, weight and whether it starts, steers and rolls.
  3. Arrange vehicle release: Confirm the seller’s phone number, opening hours, keys and any collection reference.
  4. Confirm the booking: After you accept the quote, we arrange the collection and delivery details.

Need a transport quote?

Send the two postcodes, car model, weight, whether it rolls and starts, and your preferred date. We will prepare a specific quotation.

We confirm the collection and delivery window before accepting the order. Timing depends on the seller’s availability, the carrier’s schedule and the addresses involved.
