Fast progress on “structured invoices’ programme
For some time now, Poland has been stating that it would implement their continuous tax controls regulation ahead of France. They seem to be making good progress.
The Polish Government Legislation Centre has published a draft law amending the VAT Act, introducing a model of ‘structured invoices’ to the local VAT system. The draft law is available for public consultation for a very short period in February. The expectation is that the law will come into force by October 1, 2021. It should be noted that, initially, invoice issuance and reception via the national e-invoicing platform (Krajowy System e-Faktur (KSeF) or National e-Invoicing System (NeIS)), will be voluntary and businesses can continue to use current formats, including paper, PDF and other e-invoicing formats. However, the government will reward early adapted with faster VAT returns. The system is expected to become mandatory by 2023.
NOTE: The Polish KSeF system strongly resembles the Italian Sistema di Interscambio – invoice issuance and reception will take place in the platform and an archiving function is available from the system.
Note that the draft law leaves room for more detailed regulation to be added by ministerial decree.
