Business essentials: KSeF invoices, corrections, and new regulations in Poland

Polish businesses are navigating a complex landscape of new regulations, with significant attention focused on the mandatory KSeF electronic invoicing system and its potential pitfalls.

A key concern highlighted is the discrepancy between the visualized invoice and the data submitted to KSeF. This has become a common issue since February 1, with many companies issuing both a paper or electronic invoice and a separate KSeF invoice, often with differing amounts. Tax advisors have warned of the risk of double VAT charges if these documents do not align, a concern now being confirmed by tax interpretations.

The article also addresses the handling of corrective invoices issued outside the KSeF system, a procedural challenge for many firms. Furthermore, changes are being introduced to the SENT system, which monitors the transport of certain goods, with clothing and footwear now excluded from its scope.

In labor law, new regulations concerning mobbing in the workplace have been approved by the Sejm, signaling stricter measures against workplace harassment. Additionally, the piece touches upon tax implications related to bottle deposits, specifically when the original bottles cannot be returned.
