Challenges and Benefits of Poland’s KSeF System: Insights from a VAT Expert

  • The mandatory use of structured invoices under KSeF will go into effect in Poland on July 1, 2024.
  • Taxpayers face challenges in implementing KSeF, including analyzing internal processes, involving the IT department, and employee training.
  • Foreign taxpayers with a fixed establishment in Poland will also be required to use KSeF, which raises concerns due to the changing criteria for determining a fixed establishment.
  • Not all transactions will be documented in the KSeF system, such as ICA and import transactions, requiring taxpayers to consider data from other sources for VAT declarations.
  • Invoicing in the KSeF system introduces additional dates that must be distinguished correctly for VAT settlement.
  • The use of KSeF provides benefits such as efficiency, time savings, increased security of data transmission, and exemption from submitting JPK_FA files.
  • Taxpayers need to review their invoice processes and ensure access to all data required for structured invoices.
  • Shortening the deadline for VAT refunds to 40 days can improve financial liquidity, but certain conditions must be met, including issuing structured invoices and meeting specific criteria for input VAT surplus.
