The Ministry of Finance has announced new dates for the introduction of the National e-Invoicing System. According to the latest findings, the system will enter in two stages:

1 February 2026 for entrepreneurs whose sales value exceeds PLN 200 million,
1 April 2026 for all other entrepreneurs.

There are several important reasons why it is advisable to prepare for implementation in advance:

Ensuring stability: By starting the implementation project earlier, the company gains additional time for testing and adapting the system, thus minimizing the risk of errors and problems that can occur in a hurry.
Time for employee training and adaptation: Earlier implementation allows more time for employee training and adaptation to the new system. This, in turn, can increase the efficiency of system use and reduce the risk of errors.
Opportunity for testing and optimisation: Starting the process earlier allows for in-depth system testing and optimization. This provides the opportunity to detect and resolve potential problems before the official implementation date.
Ensuring business continuity: Implementing KSeF earlier enables a smooth transition to the new system without disrupting the continuity of business operations, which is key to maintaining company stability.
Avoiding IT overload: Starting the project earlier avoids overloading the IT department at the last minute.

In the last days of August this year, the Council of Ministers accepted a draft amendment to the VAT Act establishing the National System of e-Invoices (KSeF). The draft assumes the obligatory use of e-invoices already in 2023. The Ministry hopes that the introduction of KSeF will significantly facilitate the settlement of trade between entrepreneurs and speed up the detection of attempts to defraud the tax.

The use of e-Invoice (FA_VAT) will allow taxpayers, among other things, to:
✓ receive a VAT refund in 40 days;
✓ resign from issuing duplicates;
✓ not having to store invoices in case of tax control;
✓ exemption from sending JPK_FA.
