- The mandatory National e-Invoice System (KSeF) aims to streamline tax settlements but has exposed new risks of fake invoices being issued to companies not involved in real transactions.
- Automatic assignment of invoices based on tax ID (NIP) can lead to both accidental and fraudulent invoices appearing in company accounts, increasing the risk of mistaken payments.
- There is currently no way for businesses to reject an invoice in KSeF before it is assigned to their account, making vigilance essential.
- Distinguishing between honest mistakes (e.g., wrong NIP) and scams (intentional fraud) is crucial; scam invoices often come from unknown entities, contain errors, or have unusual payment terms.
- Tax authorities are preparing mechanisms for reporting suspicious invoices to protect honest taxpayers from fraud and financial loss.
