What to check with a Polish provider

  • An invoice (faktura VAT) in your company’s name, with the VAT shown.
  • Whether the price is per bed, per room or per house.
  • Parking for vans, and whether it is on the property.
  • Whether the provider registers the guests’ stay, or the workers must do it themselves.
  • Heating costs in winter, if the house is rented as a whole.
