A structured invoice (herein referred to as e-invoice) is an electronic invoice issued through the KSeF system with an assigned identification number. These invoices are saved in an XML format generated in accordance with a logical structure, or a so-called XSD schema. An e-invoice is issued by sending it to the system which verifies its correctness and - after positive verification - assigns it a unique number.
The Minister of Finance informed that a preliminary audit of the National System of e-Invoices exposed that it is not possible to make the system mandatory in 2024 due to critical flaws related to the system's code, functionality and performance.
The minister did not give an exact date when KSeF will be introduced, explaining that the date will be determined after an external audit.
Yes, invoices for foreign contractors will also have to be issued through this system. Sending the document directly to the recipient will be the responsibility of the Polish business.
No – invoices issued outside of the National System of e-Invoices will not be considered as invoices.
The Ministry of Finance initially planned to introduce such an obligation for B2C transactions, but this is currently revoked. There will be no requirement of Issuing invoices in KSeF for consumers.
In the case of a malfunction on the taxpayer’s side, there is the possibility of issuing the invoice in the offline mode outside of KSeF and delivering the invoice to KSeF on the following day.
Currently, no. The Ministry of Finance announced that taxpayers exempt from VAT will be obliged to use the system from January 1st, 2025.
