Poland: Updated national list of non-cooperative jurisdictions
List of countries identified by EU as non-cooperative for tax purposes that are not included in Poland’s domestic list
The Polish Ministry of Finance on March 10, 2026, published the list of countries identified by the European Union (EU) as non-cooperative for tax purposes that are not included in Poland’s domestic list of jurisdictions applying a harmful tax regime.
Compared to the previous update in 2025, Fiji and Trinidad and Tobago have been removed while Turks and Caicos Islands and Vietnam have been added. As a result, the list includes the following six jurisdictions: Guam, Palau, Russia, American Samoa, Turks and Caicos Islands, and Vietnam.
Poland uses a national tax haven list that includes some of the jurisdictions on the EU list, as well as jurisdictions listed by Poland. Changes to the EU list are not automatically reflected in the national tax haven list; therefore, Poland operates a second list that covers those jurisdictions that are included on the EU list but not on the national tax haven list. Jurisdictions included on the national tax haven list are subject to a broader scope of defensive measures compared to those applicable in the case of payments to jurisdictions on the EU list (e.g., an increased withholding tax only applies to those countries included on the national tax haven list).
