eInvoicing in Poland

  • Overview of E-Invoicing in Poland: Poland is set to implement a mandatory e-invoicing system for business-to-business (B2B) transactions by 2026, transitioning from the existing voluntary framework. The Krajowy System e-Faktur (KSeF) will centralize e-invoicing, with integration into the existing Platforma Elektronicznego Fakturowania (PEF).
  • Current Regulations: Since April 2019, all public sector entities in Poland are required to accept and process structured e-invoices compliant with the European Standard for e-Invoicing (EN 16931), particularly for contracts exceeding EU Public Procurement thresholds.
  • Eligibility and Rollout Timeline: The upcoming B2B e-invoicing mandate will be phased in; businesses with revenues exceeding 200 million PLN must comply by February 1, 2026, with all businesses required to adopt e-invoicing by April 1, 2026.
  • Support and Compliance Measures: The Polish government is working to support businesses during this transition, providing guidance and ensuring that all e-invoices received will be required to carry a digital time stamp for secure transactions.
  • Monitoring and Future Developments: Poland has established monitoring mechanisms for e-invoicing compliance and plans to align the KSeF with the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age initiative by 2030, ensuring a seamless transition to digital VAT reporting and compliance across the EU.
