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.
