KSeF Complicates Settlements with Foreign Contractors Due to VAT E-Invoicing Requirements in Poland

  • Foreign companies with a permanent business presence in Poland must issue invoices through KSeF.
  • This requirement creates challenges for foreign companies and their Polish partners in determining compliance.
  • Administrative courts question Poland’s authority to impose KSeF obligations on foreign entities.
  • Major Polish businesses must use KSeF for e-invoicing from February 2026, others from April 2026.
  • Foreign companies with a permanent business presence in Poland are also required to use KSeF.
  • VAT law exempts certain foreign taxpayers from KSeF if they lack a permanent business presence in Poland.
  • The Ministry of Finance did not exclude foreign entities from KSeF despite business requests.
  • The definition of “permanent business presence” is unclear, causing issues for foreign and Polish companies.
  • The Ministry plans to issue clarifications on the definition of a permanent business presence.
  • Evaluating whether a foreign entity has a permanent business presence in Poland requires individual assessment.
