- The KSeF (Krajowy System e-Faktur) will come into effect on July 1, 2024 in Poland, bringing significant changes for both businesses and accounting offices.
- Experts advise accounting offices to amend their contracts with clients before the mandatory implementation of KSeF.
- The contracts should specify the scope of clients’ responsibilities and deadlines for confirming invoices, among other things.
- The responsibility for any irregularities, including blank invoices, becomes crucial when the office agrees to issue invoices in KSeF on behalf of the client.
- The KSeF will change the cooperation rules between accounting offices and clients to such an extent that contract amendments will be necessary.
- There are three possible models of cooperation between accounting offices and clients: the office issues and sends invoices to KSeF, the client issues invoices and the office sends them to KSeF, or the client independently issues and sends invoices to KSeF.
- Experts recommend the third model, where the client independently issues and sends invoices to KSeF, as it poses less risk for accounting offices.
- The other two models are discouraged because clients can use free invoice sending tools provided by the Ministry of Finance.
