In early May 2026, the Polish government broadened existing levies, adding a 1% reprographic fee on consumer electronics and raising the RTV subscription charge. Mid-May saw a parliamentary clash over cryptocurrency regulation, while June marked a shift toward structural reforms. The Ministry of Finance rolled out the mandatory National e-Invoice System (KSeF), mandating XML-based invoicing for most taxpayers. By August 2026, KSeF had processed over 340 million invoices from 2 million taxpayers, though integration challenges persisted. High-volume firms faced API throughput limits and file-size caps, while nearly 20% of corrective invoices contained structural or logical errors. In September 2026, the National Revenue Administration addressed invoicing interpretations. A new ruling aims to provide legal certainty for entrepreneurs issuing advance or service invoices more than 30 days before payment, preventing them from being automatically classified as ‘empty invoices’. However, the Director of the National Revenue Administration (KIS) recently rejected a proposal to allow the cancellation of e-paragons to issue correct VAT invoices following technical glitches. Operational concerns regarding KSeF have intensified. Businesses report receiving invoices via PDF or paper outside the system, creating uncertainty regarding input VAT deductions. Security critics highlight that security gateways are managed by Imperva (owned by the French group Thales) and analytical servers are located in Israel. Additionally, the ability to search for invoices anonymously using five data points is cited as a risk for data theft. While KSeF increases transparency by providing real-time visibility into B2B transactions, it is also exposing significant SME debt. Data from the National Debt Register shows company debt to factoring entities has reached 296.2 million PLN, affecting over 9,000 entities. Previously, much of this debt remained largely invisible to external parties.

## Claims

- KSeF introduces three methods for correcting invoices: differential correction, “state‑before” correction, and full reversal (storno). (corroborated by 2 sources)
- From 31 July 2026 companies with revenue over €50 million must submit their accounting records in the Unified Control File (JPK) to the tax authority. (single source)
- The Sejm is preparing a proposal to raise excise duties on e‑cigarettes, increasing device rates from 40 to 50 PLN and liquid rates from 1.80 to 2.20 PLN per millilitre. (single source)
- From 1 January 2027, businesses acquiring transport means in other EU states will no longer have to pay VAT within 14 days; they will settle it in the regular VAT return. (single source)
