Polish Parliament Advances Simplified E-Invoicing System, Reduces VAT Refund Time to 40 Days

  • Sejm sent a government project to the public finance committee to amend the VAT law.
  • The project includes reducing the VAT refund period from 60 to 40 days.
  • It introduces a simplified National e-Invoice System (KSeF).
  • KSeF aims to standardize document flow and reduce business costs.
  • Implementation will be phased: from February 2026 for large firms, from April 2026 for others.
  • Micro-businesses have a transition period until December 2026 if sales are below 10,000 PLN monthly.
  • Invoices can still be issued on cash registers until the end of 2026.
  • An “offline24” mode allows invoice issuance without internet access.
  • No penalties for errors in implementing new rules until the end of 2026.
  • Invoices will be stored in KSeF for 10 years.
  • The Ministry of Finance estimates a 10 billion PLN increase in budget revenue over 10 years due to VAT gap reduction.
