E-invoicing mandate postponement : further updates
Last month, Tungsten Automation communicated that the Polish Ministry of Finance had postponed the country’s planned upcoming B2B e-invoicing mandate. You can access the official press release briefing confirming the postponement here.
The e-invoicing and business community have raised multiple questions further to the postponement. The Polish Ministry of Finance has now provided further information around the delay.
A revised date has not yet been set but is expected to be announced in April or May 2024.
The delay was triggered as a response to critical errors identified in the KSeF functionality. In response to this, the Polish tax authorities have initiated extensive public consultations, and formulated working groups to work on specific aspects of their e-invoicing solution. However, they have confirmed that they do not anticipate significant technical changes to the KSeF functionality, which will provide reassurance to businesses who have already began to implement the changes.
The consultation will cover 9 main areas:
- Security and system performance
- Consumer invoices and buyer status
- KSeF identification number in payment references
- Meeting with the factoring industry
- Meeting with the utility supplier industry
- Meeting with the fuel industry
- Meeting with local government units
- KSeF phased implementation
- Explanations, tax rulings and training.
Based on these developments, the Polish Ministry of Finance has indicated that an April or July 2025 mandate commencement date looks more likely.
Tungsten Automation is closely following the mandate commencement date confirmation. In the meantime, we are focused on delivering a compliant e-invoicing solution in Poland. Confirmation that technical changes are expected to be minimal means Tungsten Automation can keep pace with our mandate implementation plans to ensure we are ready to meet the demands of the mandate when a revised start date is indicated.
