“kas fiskalnych?” Government proposes a free e-receipt app for entrepreneurs

Poland’s, announced by Minister of Finance Andrzej Domański and Minister Maciej Berek on 6 July 2026, contains a proposal that could reshape how B2C sales are recorded: a free mobile application allowing entrepreneurs to issue receipts on smartphones, tablets or laptops. As reports, the app is a voluntary alternative — “W żaden sposób nie ograniczamy tutaj możliwości korzystania z tradycyjnych kas fiskalnych czy wirtualnych kas online” — with hardware and virtual online cash registers remaining fully available. [trade.ec.europa.eu] [kpmg.com] [trade.ec.europa.eu], [kpmg.com]

For consumers, the visible change is the e-paragon (or QR-code receipt). The government already operates a consumer-side allowing citizens to store, manage and verify receipts issued by virtual cash registers and to report irregularities. The proposed extension closes the loop by moving from consumption to issuance. [taxation-c….europa.eu] [taxation-c….europa.eu]

The strategic driver is Domański’s key line: “Skoro w tej chwili możemy PIT rozliczyć jednym kliknięciem, chcemy, aby tak samo było z VAT-em“. Data captured through the new e-receipt system will feed the tax administration and eventually enable pre-filled VAT returns for the ~2 million Polish VAT taxpayers — a“VAT one-click” analogue to the existing PIT one-click flow. Combined with KSeF (mandatory for large taxpayers from February 2026 and all VAT-registered businesses from April 2026), Poland is putting in place the full B2B (KSeF) + B2C (e-paragon) fiscalisation stack. [kpmg.com], [kennametal.com]

Commercial providers such as already offer paperless e-receipt platforms for e-commerce and retail, and are a useful reference for what the new state-provided app will look like in practice. [kennametal.com]
