KSeF is going live. Compliance is only the beginning.
Poland’s mandatory B2B e-invoicing framework (KSeF) is moving from preparation to execution. For many organizations, the technical project is close to completion. But in practice, the real questions often start after go-live: about scalability, resilience, data quality, and how well today’s solution will support tomorrow’s regulatory landscape.
This is where e-invoicing stops being a local tax initiative and becomes a long-term platform decision, and where Tradeshift positions itself as the right partner for Poland, and for what comes next.
Check out our previous article about Poland for more information on the mandate requirements.
Poland is live on February 1st — how will things look like then?
With KSeF, Poland introduces a clearance-based model (similar to Romania in 2024 and France starting September 2026), in which invoices must be issued in a structured XML format and validated by the tax authority before being legally recognized.
From go-live, this means that:
Invoices are no longer just accounting documents. They become real-time compliance objects, directly dependent on the availability and performance of your e-invoicing infrastructure.
In practical terms, organizations will need to manage:
- Continuous connectivity with the tax authority platform
- Validation, rejection handling, and resubmission processes
- Legal archiving and audit readiness under Polish requirements
- Increased data consistency and control, driven by structured formats
For many businesses, this is also the first concrete experience of what the European CTC model looks like in practice. And it rarely stays limited to one country. ViDA and parallel national initiatives across Europe are making this approach the new normal.
Poland is not an isolated mandate. It is part of a broader regulatory trajectory.

Why choose Tradeshift for e-Invoicing compliance?
Once the immediate compliance milestone is reached, a different set of priorities usually emerges.
Not “Are we compliant today?” but:
- Can this solution evolve as regulations change?
- Can we reuse the same platform for other countries without restarting the project?
- Can Finance and IT work with consistent processes and data, instead of fragmented local setups?
Tradeshift is designed with this reality in mind.
It supports Polish KSeF requirements, while embedding them into a broader global compliance framework. This allows organizations to manage Poland as part of a single, coherent e-invoicing strategy, rather than as a standalone implementation.
More importantly, the platform is built for continuous regulatory change. As mandates evolve, formats change, and reporting models expand, compliance remains aligned without repeated re-implementation cycles.
This matters particularly for companies that are:
- Replatforming after an initial KSeF implementation
- Entering or expanding in the Polish market
- Preparing for ViDA and future CTC models
- Standardizing AP and e-invoicing globally
And because compliance is only one part of the picture, Tradeshift also connects e-invoicing with broader AP automation: structured data, validation, intelligent processing, end-to-end visibility, and generative and agentic AI-powered analytics rather than isolated regulatory workflows.

With mandatory e-invoicing coming to Poland you have to make sure your invoicing systems, workflows, and teams are ready for a new digital reality. If you’re still running manual processes or relying on PDFs, now’s the time to modernize. Get ahead of the curve, avoid last-minute scrambles, and position your business to run smoother under the new mandate.
