- The Polish Ministry of Finance published guidelines clarifying when a foreign business has a Fixed Establishment (FE) in Poland for mandatory e-invoicing via KSeF starting 1 February 2026.
- The obligation to use KSeF applies to taxpayers with a registered seat in Poland or a FE in Poland involved in the transaction.
- Criteria for determining FE reference EU regulations and CJEU case law; simply having a Polish VAT number is not enough.
- Sellers must provide invoices in an agreed format if the buyer lacks a seat or FE in Poland, or if the FE is not involved in the transaction.
- Polish buyers are not required to verify if foreign suppliers have a FE in Poland; the guidelines include 15 practical examples.
