12 November 2024
The Ministry of Finance has initiated steps towards implementing the National e-Invoicing System (KSeF) and published a draft amendment that incorporates numerous business stakeholder requests. Public consultations and technical analyses revealed the need for further system improvements, leading to adjustments in deadlines and the introduction of several facilitative measures. The new solutions are tailored to various needs, including the business sector, local government units (JST), and micro-entrepreneurs.
According to the new draft, the KSeF implementation will occur in stages, allowing businesses to gradually adapt to the new regulations. The key deadlines for mandatory KSeF usage are as follows:
The draft amendment includes several provisions aimed at facilitating the implementation and use of KSeF. Among the proposed measures are to be mentioned as the most important:
The amendment also incorporates changes to the logical structure of e-invoices. The Ministry presented new structures, FA(3) and FA_RR(1), which include payment term specifications and the necessity to designate JST (local government units) to ensure access to invoices for JST entities. A new “employee” role allows companies to manage the e-invoicing process with greater flexibility. These logical structure adjustments were developed in collaboration with business representatives and the accounting sector, with full implementation scheduled before KSeF becomes mandatory.
The Ministry of Finance conducted extensive public consultations, engaging nearly 10,000 business representatives. The consultation process incorporated a range of perspectives, and the collected feedback shaped the final draft. Comments on the draft can still be submitted until November 19th, 2024 (for legal solutions) and November 22nd, 2024 (for business solutions).
The amendment to the National e-Invoicing System regulations marks a significant step towards modernizing and digitizing business transactions. Extending deadlines and introducing numerous facilitative measures aim to support businesses in making a smooth transition to e-invoicing. The introduction of the offline mode, flexibility for micro-entrepreneurs, and simplified invoice structures will make KSeF more accessible and user-friendly. As a result of the public consultations, KSeF is expected to become a tool better suited to market realities, contributing to the successful implementation of this new standard in the Polish economy.
