Then, the VAT revenue to government revenue ratio is examined and compared with other European countries. In the next part of the article, the efficiency of VAT in Poland between 2004 and 2012 is analyzed. Using VRR as a measure it has been proved that during the analyzed period a significant amount of potential VAT was not collected.
