Purchases with 0% VAT
for schools and educational
institutions
Are you buying computer equipment for a school, kindergarten, university or other educational institution?
Check whether the IT products you selected belong to the catalog of products
covered by the 0% VAT rate according to the law.
What are 0% VAT purchases for education?
The 0% VAT rate for education is a preferential tax rate that can be applied to the delivery of selected computer equipment for educational institutions. Importantly: this is neither a discount nor a promotion in a specific store's offer – the possibility of purchase results from VAT Act provisions.
For a purchase to be made at the 0% VAT rate, two basic conditions must be met:
- the ordered equipment must belong to the categories specified in the regulations,
- the institution must provide a correctly completed order, confirmed by the supervisory body of the given educational institution.
What equipment can be purchased with 0% VAT?
Not all electronic equipment purchased by a school or educational institution can be covered by the 0% VAT rate. It applies to selected categories of computer equipment:
Computer central units, servers, monitors, desktop computer sets
Printers
Scanners
Computer devices for Braille writing (for blind and visually impaired persons)
Digital data transmission devices (including concentrators and network switches, routers
and modems)
Not sure if a given product qualifies for 0% VAT?
If you have any doubts whether the equipment you are ordering belongs to the categories specified in the law, consult with the supervisory body of the institution. You can also send an inquiry to us – our SuperTech sales advisor will help you verify the equipment before placing an order.

FAQ - most common questions about 0% VAT for schools

The possibility of applying the 0% VAT rate for the delivery of selected computer equipment for educational institutions results from Art. 83(1)(26) of the Act of 11 March 2004 on tax on goods and services.
Application of the 0% VAT rate requires that the ordered equipment belongs to the categories specified in regulations, and that the order meets formal requirements.
