Poland’s KSeF e-invoicing postponed by six months

The Polish Ministry of Finance has confirmed that, based on public consultations and discussions with businesses, the National System of e-Invoices (Krajowy System E-faktur or KSeF) mandate will not come into force on January 1, 2024 and is postponed by six months until July 1, 2024.

The key changes announced include:

• The proposed amendments to the Polish VAT Act won’t come into effect until July 1, 2024
• The deadline for the implementation of the KSeF by taxpayers exempt from VAT will be postponed to 1 January 2025
• Invoices to consumers (B2C) will not be covered by KSeF e-invoicing
• Tickets that function as invoices (including receipts on toll motorways) will also be excluded from KSeF
• Invoices from cash registers and simplified invoices will be able to be issued in the current form until December 31, 2024
• In the event of a technical failure, it is possible to issue invoices offline outside the KSeF platform and submit the invoice to KSeF the following day after issuing it offline
• There will be a soft landing period in terms of sanctions and penalties until January 1 2025.

Poland’s KSeF platform has been live in production since January 2022, allowing businesses in Poland to issue invoices electronically with structured data. Each invoice issued through KSeF is assigned a unique number which signifies that it has been formally introduced into legal circulation. While use of KSeF is currently voluntary, all Polish businesses will be mandated to issue e-invoices to their customers via the platform from July 1, 2024.
