This year, the tax authorities will not impose penalties for invoices outside of KSeF. But they may impose penalties for other errors

The Polish Ministry of Finance reassures businesses that no penalties will be imposed for errors in using the Krajowy System e-Faktur (KSeF) system throughout 2026, though businesses still face potential penalties for other tax-related issues.

The introduction of the Krajowy System e-Faktur (KSeF) has raised significant concerns among entrepreneurs regarding the system's reliability and continuity. The Polish Ministry of Finance has communicated that businesses need not worry about administrative penalties for mistakes made while utilizing this electronic invoicing system for the entire year of 2026. This announcement aims to provide reassurance and support to the business community during the transition to this new invoicing method.

However, although the government alleviates some fears regarding electronic invoicing errors, it is important to note that businesses could still face penalties related to their non-compliance with various regulations connected to KSeF and electronic tax declarations. While the Ministry has reassured that there won't be penalties specific to KSeF usage mistakes, the lack of clarity in communicating other potential penalties may leave businesses vulnerable to unexpected legal repercussions.

This situation highlights the need for continuous dialogue between the Finance Ministry and business stakeholders to ensure that companies remain informed about their obligations and the complexities of compliance with tax regulations. The effectiveness of the KSeF system is crucial, and ongoing support will be essential to aid entrepreneurs in this transition, particularly as they navigate the varied challenges that may arise during the rollout of the electronic invoicing process.
