Introduction of e-invoice for Poland from January 1, 2023 (KSeF)
December 29, 2021 at 1:00 pm
Poland’s new National System of e-Invoices (KSeF)Poland has passed legislation formally introducing the new National System of e-Invoices (Krajowy System E-faktur or KSeF).
This will allow Polish taxpayers to issue and receive structured e-invoices. During a transitional period starting January 1, 2022, use of KSeF will be voluntary and e-invoicing can be used in parallel with paper invoices and non-structured e-invoices. E-invoicing using KSeF will likely become mandatory from January 1, 2023.
The obligation to send data will be set in stages:
- From October 1 to December 31, 2021 – a pilot for stakeholders involved in the development of e-invoicing software to test the KSeF system
- From January 1, 2022 – use of KSeF will be voluntary and all taxpayers will be able to issue structured invoices.
- From January 1, 2023 – anticipated that use of KSeF will become mandatory (subject to obtaining a derogation from the European Commission).
It is anticipated that e-invoicing will eventually replace the existing SAF-T (JPK) monthly reporting requirement.
