Poland\u00a0has adopted e-invoicing,\u00a0however\u00a0there are\u00a0a number of\u00a0different systems\u202fand several phases related to the introduction of mandatory e-invoicing\u00a0for companies.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For CFOs with an operating enterprise in Poland there are questions around understanding what has been introduced, the next steps and what does the business need to do. This e-invoicing guide for Poland summarises the key information.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What\u00a0is already in place\u00a0and what is mandatory<\/strong>\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u202fSince April 2019, all public-sector entities have\u202fbeen required\u202fto receive and process structured e-invoices compliant with the European standard via the National e-Invoicing Platform (Platforma\u202fElektronicznego\u202fFakturowania\u202for\u00a0‘PEF\u2019).\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 2022, amendments to the VAT rules introduced the legal basis for mandatory e-invoicing for business-to-business (B2B) transactions in Poland. As a result, e-invoicing via\u202fKrajowy\u202fSystem e-Faktur\u202f(\u201cKSeF\u201d)\u202fis now\u00a0mandatory for taxpayers with annual revenue exceeding PLN 200 million (approximately EUR 46 million) as of 1 February 2026.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From 2026,\u202fKSeF, a system designed primarily for\u202fB2B\u202ftransactions, will be used for mandatory\u202fB2B\u202fe-invoicing. At the same time, PEF will continue to\u202foperate\u202fas the platform for business-to-government (B2G) transactions.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What are the next steps<\/strong>\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From April 2026, the above-mentioned revenue threshold\u202fof PLN 200\u202fmillion\u202fwill\u202fno longer apply. All taxpayers carrying out\u202fB2B\u202ftransactions will, as a rule, be\u202frequired\u202fto issue invoices via the\u202fKSeF\u202fsystem.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Only the smallest taxpayers will\u202fbenefit\u202ffrom a delayed start of mandatory structured e-invoicing via\u202fKSeF; however,\u00a0from January 2027 no further exceptions will apply. All taxpayers engaged in\u202fB2B\u202ftransactions will be\u202frequired\u202fto\u00a0use the e-invoicing system, including the smallest taxpayers whose individual invoice values do not exceed PLN 450 (approximately EUR 105) and whose total monthly sales do not exceed PLN 10,000 (approximately EUR 2,350).\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Am I affected?<\/strong>\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you are a Poland-based company, the answer is\u202fdefinitely yes. The rules will also apply to foreign taxpayers that carry out activities subject to Polish invoicing requirements and that have a registered office or a permanent establishment in Poland under Polish VAT regulations.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Why\u00a0you need to act now<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In order to\u202favoid the risk of delays, you need to start preparing for e-invoicing.The\u00a0situation is complex, and even companies that have already begun implementation may still face difficulties.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Poland is not unique in introducing new obligations and systems\u00a0for\u00a0e-invoicing. Belgium has already implemented mandatory e-invoicing, and France, along with several other EU Member States, is\u202fin the process of introducing\u202fits own e-invoicing and digital reporting regimes. Building local solutions country by country will make compliance more complex and costly over time\u00a0for CFOs who want to keep their finance team lean and effective.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is the\u202fKSeF\u202f?<\/strong>\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

KSeF\u202fis Poland\u2019s centralised clearance platform, designed to streamline e-invoicing. All in-scope invoices are\u202fissued,\u202fvalidated\u00a0and stored\u202fby the Ministry of Finance, ensuring transparency,\u00a0authenticity\u00a0and compliance.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Under the\u202fKSeF\u202fsystem, invoices must follow the official\u202f\u201cFA(3)\u201d XML schema. This means that PDFs, Word\u00a0documents\u00a0or scanned invoices\u202fare not valid legal invoices\u202fwithin\u202fKSeF. Every invoice\u202fsubmitted\u202fundergoes\u202fautomatic validation\u202fto check the schema and all mandatory data, including seller and buyer IDs, invoice dates, line items, VAT rates and more. If an invoice fails validation, it is\u202fnot considered issued.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Authenticity and integrity are guaranteed through secure transmission, system\u00a0validation\u00a0and the assignment of a\u202funique, tamper-proof\u202fKSeF\u202fID and timestamp.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

KSeF\u202foperates as a\u202freal-time clearance system. An invoice is officially \u201cissued\u201d the moment it is successfully uploaded and\u202fvalidated. Typically, invoices must be transmitted\u202fimmediately\u202fupon issuance.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In case of\u202fsystem unavailability or connectivity issues, taxpayers can issue invoices in\u202f\u201coffline24\u201d mode. These invoices must be uploaded to\u202fKSeF\u202fonce connectivity is restored, ensuring compliance even during temporary outages.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
