- Legislative Phases: The Ministry of Finance plans to divide the legislative process into two parts to allow for comprehensive consultations and better familiarization with the proposed changes.
Proposed Phased Entry into Force
The Ministry of Finance’s second legislative draft will propose a phased implementation of the mandatory KSeF:
- February 1, 2026: For entrepreneurs with sales exceeding PLN 200 million in 2025.
- April 1, 2026: For all other entrepreneurs.
KSeF Mobile Application Release
Despite the deadline extension, the Ministry of Finance has released a production version of the KSeF Mobile Application, offering the following features:
- Functionality: Issue and correct basic invoices within the KSeF system using a smartphone.
- Access: View received and issued invoices in the KSeF.
- Availability: The app is available for download on Google Play and the App Store.
This strategic postponement aims to provide tax-payers with ample time to adapt to the changes and ensure a smooth transition to the mandatory e-invoicing system.
