1. What is a split payment?
The Act of August 9, 2019, amending the Act on Goods and Services Tax and certain other acts (available only in Polish) introduced a split payment obligation for specified transactions from November 1, 2019.
With the split payment, the invoice payment is divided into the net amount and the VAT amount, which is transferred to a separate VAT account. The mechanism of split payment, in a voluntary form, has been functioning in Poland since July 1, 2018.
In order to allow sellers and buyers to settle their transactions with Allegro in accordance with the requirements of the Act, we enabled the split payment as a new payment method.
2. When am I obliged to use the split payment?
You need to do it when:
- both the seller and the buyer are VAT payers
- the purchased item is from one of the categories stipulated in the Appendix no. 15 to the Act on Goods and Services Tax (available only in Polish), or
- the invoice amount is or exceeds 15,000 PLN gross.
3. When will the buyer see the split payment option?
If the total order value from one seller is or exceeds 15,000 PLN, the buyer (regardless of whether they buy from a regular or a business account) will see the Split payment next to other available payment options.
They will also see this option when they make a purchase from more than one seller, and the total value of orders from only some of the sellers is or exceeds 15,000 PLN.
4. How do I know if the buyer has chosen the split payment to pay for their purchase?
You always receive information about the payment method chosen by the buyer in the email notifying about the sale. You can also find this information in the Orders tab, next to a given sale. If the buyer chooses the split payment, remember to issue an invoice or send the necessary information for the buyer to make the transfer (including the gross amount and the VAT amount).
5. What do I need to do as a seller to complete the split payment?
If the buyer decides to pay with the split payment, issue an invoice for that purchase or send the buyer information necessary to make a transfer (including the gross amount and the VAT amount).
Remember
The buyer cannot pay with the split payment through Allegro Finance. Instead, the buyer transfers the funds according to the instructions you send them. It means we will not automatically update the payment status in Allegro Finance. However, you can change order status in the Orders tab manually.
Remember that regardless of the buyer’s decision, you need to evaluate whether your invoice is subject to split payment. Your obligations as the seller are stipulated in the Act of August 9, 2019, amending the Act on Goods and Services Tax and certain other acts (available only in Polish), especially art. 106e of the amended Act on Goods and Services Tax.
6. Split payment in Allegro REST API
We have updated the data which are returned by two Allegro REST API resources to handle the orders. Now, in the resources:
- GET /order/checkout-forms (downloading orders list)
- GET /order/checkout-forms/{id} (downloading order details), for orders in which the buyer chooses the split payment, the new value ("SPLIT_PAYMENT") of the field “payment.type” will be available.
