The Ministry has unveiled significant updates to the mandatory National System of e-Invoices (KSeF) law, introducing a new structured invoicing framework. These changes aim to revolutionize how businesses handle invoicing, ensuring a phased and systematic transition into the future of digital finance.
Summarized phased implementation timeline for KSeF:
- The adoption of KSeF will be based on the sales value achieved in 2025, allowing businesses to adapt gradually.
- The deadline for issuing invoices through fiscal cash registers and simplified invoice processing has been extended to July 2026.
- Small Taxpayer Considerations: Small taxpayers will have the option to issue invoices in the current format until September 2026.
- Offline Invoicing: All taxpayers can issue invoices offline through a simplified process until the end of 2026, providing flexibility during the transition.
- Voluntary Consumer Invoicing: issuing consumer invoices via KSeF will remain voluntary, allowing businesses to choose the best fit for their needs.
Therefore, the deadlines are:
- February 1, 2026: The obligation will cover entrepreneurs whose sales value (including tax amount) exceeded PLN 200 million in 2025.
- April 1, 2026—the obligation will cover other entrepreneurs regardless of the sales value.
- until July 31, 2026—no obligation to provide the KSeF number in payments (also in the case of the split payment mechanism).
- possibility of issuing invoices using cash registers No penalties for failure to comply with KSeF obligations (including failure to issue an invoice in KSeF).
- until September 30, 2026—the possibility of issuing invoices in the current form for so-called "digitally excluded" taxpayers (with a small scale of activity)
- until December 31, 2026, the ability to issue invoices offline for all taxpayers.
The amendments also focus on inclusivity, ensuring that non-taxable entities can access invoices issued within the KSeF system. This provision aims to make the system more user-friendly and inclusive for a broader range of stakeholders. Businesses are encouraged to prepare for these changes and leverage the phased timelines and transitional provisions to ensure compliance.
