Does this apply to me?

Three questions. The fixed-establishment rule is where most foreign businesses get it wrong.

Is your business established in Poland (registered office, branch or fixed establishment)?

Do you issue domestic B2B invoices in Poland?

Poland: likely outside the issuing mandate — watch e-reporting / cross-border

VAT registration or trading alone, without a fixed establishment, usually keeps you outside Poland's issuing obligation — but you may still face e-reporting or need to receive structured e-invoices. Confirm your establishment status.

Not in scope for Poland

With no establishment and no registration or trade in Poland, the mandate doesn't apply to you today. Revisit this if you open a branch, warehouse or start supplying into Poland.

In scope — issue structured e-invoices in Poland

As an established business issuing domestic B2B invoices, you must send them as compliant structured e-invoices. The mandate is already in force (since April 2026). Set up your platform/format and test before you rely on it.

In scope to receive in Poland

Even if you don't issue domestic B2B invoices, an established business must be able to receive structured e-invoices. The mandate is already in force (since April 2026). Confirm your receiving capability first.
