- After eight months of mandatory KSeF e-invoicing, Poland has processed 657.4 million invoices from 2.37 million issuers, but the tax authority has also received nearly 319,000 KSeF-related support calls, showing major implementation friction.
- The main issues are access and authorization-related: permissions, authentication, qualified electronic signatures, system access, and invoice issuing/receiving.
- E-invoicing is also affecting core VAT/accounting processes, including incorrect buyer VAT IDs, advance payment and final invoice handling, bulk corrections, and employee expenses routed through KSeF without clear employee identification.
- Poland’s structured XML in KSeF is the authoritative invoice, creating a reconciliation chain from ERP to XML to KSeF to accounting to VAT reporting; mismatches at any stage can create compliance errors.
- The broader VAT lesson is that mandatory e-invoicing is no longer just a format change; businesses must align master data, ERP settings, and internal processes to ensure end-to-end digital VAT compliance.
