Polish companies must adopt new JPK_CIT electronic tax reporting
Polish corporate taxpayers are required to submit electronic tax reports under the new JPK_CIT system. The mandate introduces two key file structures: JPK_KR_PD, which contains data from accounting books, and JPK_ST_KR, which covers the register of fixed assets and intangible assets. The requirement initially targets large companies and capital groups, with plans to extend to smaller entities in later phases. The tax administration will use these files to analyse accounting information more efficiently.
A recent survey of Polish firms shows that about 60 % are not prepared to meet the JPK_CIT deadline. Companies cite the simultaneous need to implement the KSeF e‑invoicing system, prepare annual balances and undergo audits, all of which increase costs and workload. No reimbursement for the expenses of adapting IT and accounting systems is available, though officials argue the changes will ultimately benefit both the tax authority and businesses.
