KSeF in plain words

The National e-Invoicing System: what it is, when it applies and what your company has to do. Status: October 2026.

.01

What it is

The National e-Invoicing System: a state platform run by the Ministry of Finance. An invoice between businesses is created in KSeF, receives a KSeF number and reaches the recipient through the system, not by e-mail.

.02

Since when

From 1 February 2026 for the largest companies (sales above PLN 200 million in 2024), from 1 April 2026 for all others. The smallest businesses (sales up to PLN 10,000 per month) may still issue invoices outside KSeF until the end of 2026.

.03

Who it applies to

Companies with a registered office or fixed establishment in Poland, when selling to other businesses. Ordinary invoices can still be issued to consumers.

.04

Foreign client

An invoice for a foreign company is also issued in KSeF; the client receives it as a PDF with a QR code confirming that it is in the system.

.05

How to log in

With a Trusted Profile, a qualified signature or a KSeF certificate. The management board grants permissions to the accountant or accounting firm.

.06

When the system is down

Offline mode: you issue an invoice with a QR code and send it to KSeF no later than the next business day.
