Poland: B2B E-Invoicing Update
The Polish Ministry of Finance has provided an update on the mandatory B2B e-invoicing implementation. The B2B e-invoicing implementation was originally scheduled for July 1, 2024. Due to critical errors identified in KSeF functionality, this implementation will be delayed.
Insights from Consultations
On 16th February 2024, consultations regarding KSeF were initiated. The consultations led to the formation of working groups dedicated to refining the e-invoicing solution.
Key insights from these consultations include:
- B2C invoices may be incorporated earlier than initially planned.
- The Ministry might reconsider requirements regarding bank payment or identifier details in transaction reporting.
- Phased introduction of the KSeF regime by company size (turnover) may be abandoned due to operational challenges.
- A new Frequently Asked Questions page has been published on the Ministry’s website.
Relaunch Plans
Following the consultations, the Ministry confirmed relaunch plans for KSeF, which entail:
- Completion of the legislative process by the end of June 2024.
- Commencement of education and training programs in tax offices in April and May 2024.
- Launch in 2025, likely in the Spring or Summer, with a commitment to providing at least six months’ notice after the legislative process is complete.
Under Consideration
Several changes are currently under consideration, including:
- Delaying the imposition of fines after the mandate is launched.
- Postponing the inclusion of invoices from cash registers.
- Extending the deadline to mid-2026 for exempt taxpayers.
- Anticipated delays in B2C e-invoicing upon eventual inclusion.
