01 — Compliance
Tax, e-invoicing, data-protection and AI rules that shape an ERP, billing system or AI agent in Poland. Last reviewed October 2026.
| Indirect tax | VAT (podatek od towarów i usług, PTU), standard rate 23%Standard rate 23% with reduced rates of 8% and 5%; VAT is reported monthly or quarterly through the JPK_VAT (SAF-T) file, which combines the return and transaction records. Since KSeF, the JPK file must reference the KSeF number for each invoice. |
|---|---|
| E-invoicing | Mandatory · KSeF 2.0 (national clearance platform, FA(3) XML)KSeF became mandatory on 1 Feb 2026 for receiving invoices and for issuing by companies with 2024 sales above PLN 200 million, on 1 Apr 2026 for all other VAT taxpayers, and applies from 1 Jan 2027 to the smallest businesses (invoiced sales up to PLN 10,000 a month). Financial penalties for KSeF non-compliance apply from 1 Jan 2027. |
| Data protection | GDPR plus the Personal Data Protection Act of 10 May 2018GDPR applies directly, supplemented by the Personal Data Protection Act of 10 May 2018 and supervised by the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO); B2B buyers expect an Art. 28 data processing agreement, a sub-processor list and, in practice, EU/EEA hosting or SCC-covered transfers. |
| AI rules | The EU AI Act applies directly: prohibited AI practices have been banned since 2 Feb 2025, general-purpose AI model rules apply since 2 Aug 2025 and transparency duties (e.g. chatbot disclosure, AI-content labelling) since 2 Aug 2026, while the Digital Omnibus on AI (in force 27 Jul 2026) moved stand-alone high-risk (Annex III) obligations to 2 Dec 2027 and product-embedded high-risk (Annex I) obligations to 2 Aug 2028; Poland's draft national AI act proposes a new Commission on the Development and Safety of AI as market-surveillance authority. |
| Systems we migrate from or connect to | Comarch ERP Optima, Symfonia, enova365, InsERT Subiekt, wFirma, Fakturownia, SAP Business OneMasters, ledgers, stock and open balances move across and are reconciled before cutover. |
| Payment rails for web apps and SaaS | BLIK, Przelewy24, PayU, Tpay, Stripe, SEPA (for EUR transfers) |
| Also worth knowing | Payments above the statutory limit should go to supplier bank accounts on the VAT taxpayer white list, and split payment is mandatory for listed goods and services above PLN 15,000. An offline mode lets invoices be issued during outages and uploaded to KSeF later. |

Yes. Flip Retail is based in Jaipur, India, and works with Poland businesses remotely. We have no office in Poland; discovery happens on video calls, you get working software every two weeks, and the engineers who write the code are on the calls.
Yes. Invoicing is built for Poland's VAT (standard rate 23%). KSeF became mandatory on 1 Feb 2026 for receiving invoices and for issuing by companies with 2024 sales above PLN 200 million, on 1 Apr 2026 for all other VAT taxpayers, and applies from 1 Jan 2027 to the smallest businesses (invoiced sales up to PLN 10,000 a month). Financial penalties for KSeF non-compliance apply from 1 Jan 2027. A custom ERP connects to KSeF through its official API or an accredited provider, and we confirm the current requirements in discovery.
GDPR applies directly, supplemented by the Personal Data Protection Act of 10 May 2018 and supervised by the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO); B2B buyers expect an Art. 28 data processing agreement, a sub-processor list and, in practice, EU/EEA hosting or SCC-covered transfers. You choose where the system is hosted, access is role-based, and we work on test or masked data during development wherever possible.
Yes. Masters, ledgers, stock items and opening balances move across and are reconciled with your accountant before cutover, ideally at a year-end or quarter-end.
The EU AI Act applies directly: prohibited AI practices have been banned since 2 Feb 2025, general-purpose AI model rules apply since 2 Aug 2025 and transparency duties (e.g. chatbot disclosure, AI-content labelling) since 2 Aug 2026, while the Digital Omnibus on AI (in force 27 Jul 2026) moved stand-alone high-risk (Annex III) obligations to 2 Dec 2027 and product-embedded high-risk (Annex I) obligations to 2 Aug 2028; Poland's draft national AI act proposes a new Commission on the Development and Safety of AI as market-surveillance authority. We design AI agents with logging, human oversight and clear disclosure from the start, which covers most current requirements.
