General Information
By the Act Amending the Act on Value Added Tax and Other Acts dated October 29th, 2021
(Journal of Laws item 2076) (the “Amendment”), which amended the Act on Value Added Tax
dated March 11th, 2004 (Journal of Laws of 2021, item 685, as amended) (the “Act”), the
legislator established the National System of e-Invoices (“KSeF” or the “System”).
Under the Amendment, a structured electronic invoice is now one of the accepted forms of
documenting a transaction, alongside a paper invoice and electronic invoice that are currently
in use.
IMPORTANT
A structured electronic invoice is issued via KSeF with a number assigned by the System for
identification purposes.
A structured electronic invoice is issued and received via KSeF, with the use of interface
software, in an electronic form, based on the electronic file template defined by the Act on IT
Automation of the Activities of Entities Performing Tasks in the Public Interest dated February
17th, 20052.
A structured electronic invoice must be delivered to its recipient (purchaser) via KSeF. If an
invoice has been issued and delivered to the purchaser otherwise, there are no basis on which
to send it via KSeF, since a correctly issued invoice has already been introduced into
commercial trading.
A structured electronic invoice FA(1) does not contain a separate field for the KSeF number
(save for the field NrKSeFFaKorygowanej, which must be filled in in cases where a correction
invoice is issued). The KSeF number is automatically generated by the System and included in
the Official Receipt Certificate [Urzędowe Poświadczeniu Odbioru (UPO)].
The structure of FA(1) contains a consecutive, unique number assigned (by the taxpayer)
within one or more series, which identifies the invoice (field P_2).

Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/1003 of 17 June 2022 authorising the Republic of Poland to apply a
special measure derogating from Articles 218 and 232 of Directive 2006/112/EC on the common system of
value added tax (OJ L 168, 27.06.2022, p. 81-83)

Journal of Laws of 2021, item 2070

What is KSeF?
KSeF is a telecommunications system used for, among other things, issuing, receiving and
storing structured electronic invoices. Each structured electronic invoice generated via KSeF
is assigned a unique identification number and can be accessed.
KSeF also notifies its users about:
a) the date and time when a structured electronic invoice is generated, the invoice’s
identification number assigned by the System and the date and time when it is assigned,
b) the date and time when the invoice is rejected by the System as non-compliant with the
template structured electronic invoice,
c) cases where a structured electronic invoice cannot be issued because KSeF is not accessible.
KSeF also analyses and checks the correctness of structured electronic invoice data.
The System authenticates and verifies authorizations of the entities referred to in Art. 106nb
of the Act. It notifies entities other than these specified under Art. 106nb of the Act that they
are not authorized to use the System.
KSeF is also used for granting, modifying and cancelling authorizations. It notifies the entities
referred to in Art. 106nb of the Act that they have been granted authorizations to use the
System or that their authorizations have been cancelled.
Taxpayers can issue a structured electronic invoice using commercial finance and accounting
software. The invoice is then sent to KSeF via API. The Ministry of Finance makes available free
tools for issuing structured electronic invoices.
IMPORTANT
Structured electronic invoices may be delivered via KSeF subject to the recipient’s consent.
The recipient’s consent to receive structured electronic invoices via KSeF (or otherwise) is not
processed via KSeF. It should be given in the hitherto applicable manner. If the recipient has
not consented to be delivered structured electronic invoices via KseF, the invoices may still be
issued in KSeF and then delivered to the recipient otherwise, for instance, via email or in
4
paper. An invoice so issued is considered a structured electronic invoice because it has its
statutory attributes (such as identification number assigned by the System).
System breakdown
Any downtime of KSeF will be incidental and short-lasting and will not materially affect the
System’s usability.
If an invoice cannot be issued in KSeF as a result of the System’s failure, a taxable person may
postpone the issuing of the invoice until the System becomes operational again (as long as the
invoice’s issue deadline fixed by legal provisions is not missed as a result of such
postponement).
As an alternative, the taxable person can issue the invoice otherwise. Such an invoice is not
considered a structured electronic invoice.
5
Issuing correction invoices in KSeF
IMPORTANT
KSeF invoices can be corrected. A structured electronic invoice issued in KSeF may be
corrected by a structured electronic correction invoice only. A structured electronic
correction invoice issued in KSeF should include the KSeF number of the invoice corrected
(field NrKSeFFaKorygowanej). Invoices issued otherwise are not corrected in KSeF.
1. Correction notes
Given their specificity, no structured electronic correction notes to structured electronic
invoices can be issued and sent via KSeF. However, a taxable person may still issue a correction
note according to Art. 106k sec. 1-4 of the Act, that is, otherwise than via KSeF.
2. Duplicate invoices
The statutory provisions regulating duplicate invoices (copies) laid down in Art. 106l of the Act
are not applicable to structured electronic invoices since a structured electronic invoice
cannot be lost or destroyed in the System.
3. Invoices not based on the template structured electronic invoice
Invoices that – under statutory provisions – are not required to include the number or other
data identifying the buyer are not issued and sent via KSeF.
The cases where an invoice does not need to contain all of the elements listed in Art. 106e of
the Act are described by the Ordinance of the Minister of Finance on the Issuing of Invoices
dated October 29th, 2021 (Journal of Laws of 2021, item 1979), a law issued on the basis of
art. 106o of the Act. Some invoices may be issued without the seller’s NIP or data identifying
the buyer, that is, data that are mandatory in the structured electronic invoice template made
available by the minister responsible for finance matters on the electronic public
administration services platform.
For example, invoices that cannot be issued and sent via KSeF are those referred to in §3 point
1 of the Ordinance referred to above, documenting the supply of goods and/or services
exempted from VAT under Art. 43 sec. 1 points 2-6, 8-36 of the Act or laws issued on the basis
of Art. 82 sec. 3 of the Act. These invoices do not have to include the seller’s NIP.
Another type of invoices that cannot be issued and sent via KSeF are those listed in §3 point 4
of the Ordinance referred to above. These are invoices documenting travels via a toll
motorway or travels without limitations as to distances travelled, which are issued as single
tickets by taxable persons providing services in the area of passenger transport by standard-
gauge railways, car fleet, sea-going ships, means of inland and coastal shipping, ferries, planes
6
and helicopters. These invoices do not include data identifying the buyer and are issued and
delivered outside of KSeF.
Taxable persons issuing invoices that – under statutory provisions – are not required to
contain certain identification data can easily determine whether or not they can issue these
invoices in KSeF.
A structured electronic invoice is stored in KSeF for 10 years reckoned from the end of the
year in which it is issued. Articles 112 and 112a of the Act, which govern the storing and
archiving of invoices, are not applicable to structured electronic invoices.
Taxable persons who find this period too short may store their structured electronic invoices
outside of KSeF until their tax liabilities become time-barred. Articles 112 and 112a of the Act
are applicable to such storing and archiving.
Taxable persons generating structured electronic invoices do not have to send tax authorities,
upon request, the part of the logical structure of JPK_FA that contains information included in
these invoices. This kind of information is available via KSeF. Requesting it would constitute a
violation of Art. 45 sec. 2 of the Act on the National Revenue Administration4 dated November
3
Journal of Laws of 2020 item 1666, as amended
4
Journal of Laws of 2021 item 442, as amended
7
16th, 2016, which says that a revenue authority may not request documents or information it
has access to.
- obligatory fields – they must be filled in (for instance, NIP must be provided in the element
Podmiot1/DaneIdentyfikacyjne); these fields must be filled in because, in particular, the
statutory provisions and/or the logical structure so require,
- contingent fields – they must be filled in in cases where a specific, statutory prerequisite is
fulfilled (for instance P_11A in the element Fa/FaWiersze/FaWiersz); these fields need not to
be filled in to ensure the semantic correctness of the file,
- optional fields – they need not to be filled in to ensure the semantic correctness of the file
and the Act does require that these fields be filled in (for instance, PKWiU in the element
Fa/FaWiersze/FaWiersz). However, there may be other statutory provisions requiring that
these fields be completed.
IMPORTANT
When determining whether or not a specific field needs to be filled in, taxable persons should
take into account the context (characteristics of the element) in which the field finds itself.
For instance, the element Fa/Platnosc and its component TerminyPlatnosci are optional.
If a taxable person:
- chooses to fill in the element TerminyPlatnosci – he/it must fill in TerminPlatnosci as well;
- chooses not to fill in TerminyPlatnosci, he/it must leave TerminPlatnosci blank.
3. The character fields are alphanumerical fields. Small and capital letters and digits are
allowed. As a rule, the maximum number of signs is 256.
8
4. Polish diacritics are encoded with the use of UTF-8. Special characters such as “/”, “–”, “+”
may be used in character fields.
5. Numeric fields are data fields intended for numbers to be calculated. Values should be
provided in the form of continuous sequences of digits; no separating marks (e.g. spaces) are
allowed for thousands. The only admissible decimal separator is a dot („.”).
9. Date and time should be entered only once, i.e. in the field intended for the invoice issue
date and time. The date and time format is YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS (e.g.: 2022-01-
24T09:30:47Z; T standing for “Time”). For the universal time (UTC), the letter “Z” (ZULU)
should be added at the end.
The structure also has optional fields intended for transport commencement and completion
dates. A taxable person can but does not have to fill them in.
10. Tax identification numbers to be included in the structured electronic invoice should be
sequences of consecutive digits or letters entered without spaces or other separators; the
country code should be entered in a separate, code field.
IMPORTANT
Polish tax identification number NIP of the buyer should be provided in the field “NIP” of the
element Podmiot2/DaneIdentyfikacyjne. NIP should not be provided in the field NrID. The
invoice can be delivered to the buyer only if NIP is provided correctly, that is, in the NIP, not
NrID field.

Facts:
XXX Sp. z o.o. w likwidacji is a VAT taxable person registered for EU Intra-Community
transactions (PL 9999999999). The company has its seat in Kraków (55-555), ul. Niebieska
16/3. The company is making an Intra-Community supply of goods to another VAT taxable
person registered for EU Intra-Community transactions. To make business relations easier, the
seller wants to put its contact data on the invoice. These include the telephone number
(801055055) and e-mail address (podatnik@xyz.pl).
The above-mentioned information should be included in the structure as follows:
21
Podmiot2 for FA(1)
A structured electronic invoice can be issued via KSeF if the required data identifying the buyer
(Podmiot2) are put on it. The required data identifying the buyer are listed in Art. 106e of the
Act and in the Ordinance of the Minister of Finance on the Issuing of Invoices dated October
29th, 2021.
For instance, for simplified invoices for up to PLN 450.00, which are referred to in Art. 106e
sec. 5 point 3 of the Act, it is sufficient to include the buyer’s NIP. The buyer’s first name, family
name/business name or address are not required.
In cases where the buyer is a consumer, no NIP or NrID are put on the invoice (instead, “1” is
entered in the field BrakID). The invoice should include the first name, the surname and the
address of a natural person not running business activity.
22
- the supply of services to which Art. 100 sec. 1 point 4 of
the Act is applicable, to value added tax payers or legal

Enter “1” if the buyer has no NIP or NrID (e.g. where
he/she is a natural person not running business activity
(a consumer).
25
AdresZagr Buyer’s foreign address
27
For instance, in AdresZagr of Podmiot2/Adres, GLN may
mean the physical location of an object concerned (e.g. a
building where the buyer has their seat, a floor or a
branch office of a firm) outside of the territory of the
country.

Example 2. How to complete the element Podmiot2 for FA(1)
Facts:
A VAT payer provided a translation service to XXX Sp. z o. o., a company with its seat in
Wrocław (46-666), ul. Pomarańczowa 5. The buyer’s VAT identifier (NIP) is 1111111111. In
order to make the transaction run smoothly the buyer was assigned a client number
(KL/128/2022). The amount invoiced did not exceed PLN 450 gross. The seller documented
the transaction by a so-called simplified invoice.
The above-mentioned information should be included in Podmiot2 as follows:
Note!
According to Art. 106e sec. 5 point 3 of the Act, in the case at hand the invoice does not need
to include, among other things, the name and address of the buyer. It is sufficient to put the
buyer’s tax identification number in Podmiot2. Optionally, the client’s number can be
provided.
The optional element Podmiot3 is intended for data of all third party entities referred to in
the invoice, other than these included in Podmiot1 and Podmiot2. This is in line with the
established practice according to which a taxable person may but is not obliged to put on the
invoice the data of, for instance, the payer or recipient of the goods (applicable, in particular,
to purchases made by local government entities). In element Podmiot3, the taxable person
may also provide the data of the factor or – in the case of a consolidation of business entities
– the data of, for instance, the company taken over.
The element Podmiot3 can appear up to 100 times in the structure, so the data of many third
party entities can be put on one invoice.
31
The structure of the element Podmiot3 for FA(1)
32

are provided in Podmiot1K),
- “4”- Additional buyer – for invoices containing data of other
buyers (other than these listed in Podmiot2),
- “5”- Invoice issuer – for invoices containing data of an entity
issuing these invoices on behalf of the taxable person.
- “6”- Entity making the payment – for invoices containing data
of an entity making the payment in place of the buyer.
For invoices containing data of a third party entity other than any

fields RolaInna and OpisRoli.
Note!
Note!
For self-billing, buyer’s data should be provided in Podmiot2. The
invoice should include the annotation: “self-billing” (“1” should
be entered in Fa/Adnotacje/P_17).
For invoices containing data of a third party entity other than any
of the entities listed in the field Rola, enter “1” – another entity.
If the role of the third party entity (being the sole third party
entity) is specified in the field Rola, the field RolaInna should be
left blank.
33
If the role of the third party entity (being the sole third party
entity), is specified in the field Rola, the field OpisRoli should be

60% share in the ownership title of a motor vehicle, and
- XZZ Sp. z o.o. (NIP 7777777777), a company with its seat in Katowice (99-999), ul. Fioletowa
20, a 40% share in the ownership title of the motor vehicle referred to above.
The seller puts on the invoice data of the two buyers.
Note!
The taxable person decides whose data to put on the invoice in Podmiot2 (i.e. XXX Sp. z o.o.
or XZZ Sp. z o.o.).
If he/it puts the data of XXX Sp. z o.o. in Podmiot2, then he/it should put the data of XZZ Sp. z
o.o. in Podmiot3. In Udzial he/it enters 40 (i.e. the share in the ownership title of the motor
vehicle bought). Udzial is an optional field. If it is left blank, it is assumed that the shares of
the buyers put on the invoice are equal.
In the case at hand (where the data of XXX Sp. z o.o. are entered in Podmiot2), Podmiot3
should be filled in as follows:
If the taxable person (invoice issuer) enters the data of XZZ Sp. z o.o. in Podmiot2, then, in
Podmiot3, he/it should enter the data of XXX Sp. z o.o. In Udzial, he/it should enter 60 (i.e. the
share in the ownership title of the vehicle XXX Sp. z o.o. is buying).

seller puts the data of the recipient and the payer on the invoice.
Note!
The buyer’s data should be entered in Podmiot2. The element Podmiot3 can appear, for
instance, twice, i.e. the invoice contains the data of the recipient of the goods and the payer
(the structured electronic invoice can contain the data of up to 100 third party entities).
For the two third party entities put on the invoice, the element Podmiot3 should be
completed as follows:

There can be up to 12 elements DodatkowyOpis in the structured electronic invoice. Each field
in the compound, key word-value type may have not more than 256 signs.
Taxable persons can put on the invoice information typical of their industry (e.g. sale of
telecommunications services, electricity, gas, water, etc.).
Example 11. How to complete the element DodatkowyOpis (compound key word-value
type)
Facts:
A VAT taxable person sells goods worth of PLN 100 net + PLN 23 VAT. According to Art. 29a
sec. 1 and sec. 6 of the Act, as the taxable base are recognized also the costs of transport of
the goods (PLN 20). The taxable person wants to put this information on the invoice.
To put additional data on the invoice, the taxable person can use the compound key word-
value type:
The element FaWiersze contains detailed invoice items in the invoice currency.
This is a contingent element of a prepayment invoice, an invoice correcting the prepayment
invoice and all correction invoices related to supplies of goods and/or services made in the
period concerned, as referred to in Art. 106j sec. 3 of the Act, for which data concerning the
discount or reduction, broken down by tax rates and schemes, should be provided in Fa.
For the correction invoices referred to in Art. 106j sec. 3 of the Act, where a discount or
reduction refers to a portion of supplies of goods and/or services made in the period
83
concerned, in FaWiersz the taxable person should put the names (kinds) of goods and/or
services to which the correction relates.
For the invoices referred to in Art. 106f sec. 3 of the Act, full values of the order or contract
should be provided. For invoices amending individual invoice items (including these amending
the invoices referred to in Art. 106f sec. 3 of the Act, where the value of the order is corrected),
the taxable person should present differences resulting from the correction of individual items
or contra entries for individual items and their correct values in separate rows.
For amendments to the invoices referred to in Art. 106f sec. 3 of the Act, where the value of
the order is not subject to correction and the taxable base or tax amount change, the taxable
person should make a contra entry for the row concerned (i.e. the value of the row before
correction) and an entry restoring the value of the order to confirm that it has not changed.
Provide the total gross sales value (where Art. 106e sec.
7 and 8 of the Act are applicable) for all invoice rows.

If the subjects matter of the transactions described under
items “1” – “5” above are the goods and/or services
described under item “6” above, the taxable person
chooses only one of the procedures described under
items “1”-“5”. “6” is not applicable in this case. For the
procedures described under “5”, which can be classified
also as falling under item “4”, only “5” should be filled in.

IMORTANT
Symbols describing the supply of goods and/or services (GTU_01 - GTU_13) are optional
elements. It is a decision of a taxable person whether or not to put them on the invoice. There
are no statutory provisions requiring that these symbols be provided. However, a JPK_VAT
and the records information can be much easier to prepare if GTUs are included in the
structured electronic invoice.
GTUs in a JPK_VAT and the records information and GTUs in the structured electronic invoice
are applied differently. In the structured electronic invoice, a GTU refers to the element
FaWiersz (i.e. it corresponds to the invoice row concerned). In a JPK_VAT with records
information, in the sales records, a GTU corresponds to the invoice concerned.
GTUs can be used for all types of transactions documented by an invoice (e.g. domestic sales,
Intra-Community supply of goods, export or supply of goods and/or services not subject to
taxation in the territory of the country) as long as the transaction can be classified as one
falling under a GTU category. A GTU symbol may be put on an underlying invoice (“VAT”), a
correction invoice (“KOR”), a settlement invoice (and an amendment to it) (“ROZ”,
“KOR_ROZ”) and a simplified invoice (“UPR”).
In a correction invoice (amendment), a GTU symbol can be used where the correction
concerns a GTU good/service.
In prepayment invoices and amendments to them (“ZAL”, “KOR_ZAL”) for which the element
Zamowienie is filled in, for the goods and services covered by an order or contract the taxable
person may use designations ascribed to this element (GTUZ).
IMPORTANT
Symbols describing procedures (WSTO_EE, I_42, I_63, B_SPV, etc.) are optional elements. It is
a decision of a taxable person whether or not to put them on the invoice. There are no
statutory provisions requiring that procedure symbols be provided. However, a JPK_VAT and
the records information can be much easier to prepare if they are included in the structured
electronic invoice.
Procedure symbols in a JPK_VAT and the records information and procedure symbols in the
structured electronic invoice are applied differently. In the structured electronic invoice a
97
procedure symbol refers to the element FaWiersz (i.e. it corresponds to invoice row
concerned). In a JPK_VAT with records information, in the sales records, a procedure symbol
corresponds to the entire document (invoice, internal document) concerned.
A procedure symbol may be put on an underlying invoice (“VAT”), a correction invoice (“KOR”),
a settlement invoice (and an amendment to it) (“ROZ”, “KOR_ROZ”) and a simplified invoice
(“UPR”).
In a correction invoice (amendment), a procedure symbol can be used where the correction
concerns a good/service to which a procedure marked with this symbol is applicable.
In prepayment invoices and amendments to them (“ZAL”, “KOR_ZAL”), where the element
Zamowienie is filled in, the taxable person may use procedure symbols ascribed to this
element (ProceduraZ).
98
The element FaWiersz referring to the sale made on January 14th, 2022 can be filled in as
follows:

Provide the total of all the amounts entered in the field
Kwota of the element Odliczenia.
101
State the reason for which the burden is imposed.
Facts:
A VAT taxable person delivers a regular, day-to-day legal and office administration service to
another taxable person and issues an invoice for a total amount of PLN 246 documenting this
transaction (field P_15 equals 246). The seller of the service also charges its client with a stamp
duty of PLN 17 and makes an annotation about it in the invoice. According to Art. 29a sec. 7
point 3 of the Act, this amount is not considered a VAT taxable base. It is solely a
reimbursement of documented expenditures incurred for and on behalf of the buyer of the
service and provisionally recognized by the taxable person in its records for tax purposes.
When paying the previous month’s invoice the buyer erroneously made an overpayment and
now has a positive account balance of PLN 300.
The element Rozliczenie can be filled in as follows:
Fa/Rozliczenie SumaObciazen 17

The optional element Platnosc contains information concerning the terms and conditions of
payment for the goods and/or services whose sale is documented by an invoice. It includes
among other things:
- data concerning amounts due received until the invoice issue date (their heights, dates of
payment),
- payment deadlines (specified dates) and deadlines descriptions,
- form of payment (to be made or already made),
- data concerning the bank account credited or to be credited with the payment invoiced
(bank’s name, bank account type and number),
- information concerning the amount and terms and conditions of cash discount.
According to the law in force, these data are not obligatory. They can but do not have to be
put on the invoice. Such is the established practice; no amendments have been made to any
statutory provisions governing it.
However, if the taxable person:
- issues an invoice and puts no data in the element Platnosc (because no payment has been
made for the supply of goods and/or services until the invoice issue date), and thereafter,
- after issuing the invoice documenting the supply of goods and/or services, receives the
payment invoiced,
he/it does not have to issue a correction invoice containing information on any later payments
(e.g. as regards the fields Zaplacono and DataZaplaty).
The taxable person can put the payment deadline for the amount invoiced in the element
Platnosc. Including this information in the invoice makes the preparation of a JPK_VAT with
records information easier in cases where the taxable person makes a correction (the so-called
bad debts allowance). For periods starting on January 1st, 2022, in JPK_VAT with tax records
information, in the sales records, the taxable person must state the payment deadline in cases
where the correction referred to in Art. 89a sec. 1 of the Act is made.
Also, pursuant to:
103
- Art. 117ba § 3 of the Act dated August 29th, 1997 – the Tax Ordinance11,
- Art. 22p sec. 4 point 2 of the Personal Income Tax Act dated July 26th, 199112,
- Art. 15d sec. 4 point 2 of the Corporate Income Tax Act dated February 15th, 199213,
the taxable person may put on the structured electronic invoice information on the type of
bank account or co-operative savings and credit union (tags “1”, “2” or “3” in the field
RachunekWlasnyBanku). Putting the above-mentioned information on the invoice is one of
the prerequisites excluding joint and several liability of the buyer and/or removing barriers to
recognizing an expenditure as a revenue earning cost.
Put “1” if the invoiced amount due has been paid in full.

Note!
For prepayment invoices, “1” put in the field Zaplacono
means that the entire prepayment amount invoiced had
been paid before the prepayment invoice was issued.
Put:
-“1”- for a cash payment,
-“2”- for a card payment,
-“3”- for a payment with a coupon,
-“4”- for a cheque payment,
-“5”- for a loan,
-“6”- for a payment by a wire transfer,
-“7”- for mobile payment.
Note!
This field is intended for payments that have already
been made or will be made in the future.
Note!
105
There can be only one field FormaPlatnosci. If the
invoiced amount due has been/is to be paid in various
forms, instead of FormaPlatnosci, the taxable person fills
in PlatnoscInna and OpisPlatnosci.
Important
There can be only one tag ZaplataCzesciowa in the structured electronic invoice. The element
PlatnosciCzesciowe, which consists of the fields KwotaZaplatyCzesciowej and
DataZaplatyCzesciowej, can appear up to 100 times. For instance, if three partial payments
are received after goods and/or services are supplied and before the invoice is issued, the
taxable person who chooses to put this information on the invoice should:
- put “1” in ZaplataCzesciowa,
106
- fill in three elements PlatnosciCzesciowe consisting of KwotaZaplatyCzesciowej and
DataZaplatyCzesciowej with the amounts of individual partial payments and dates on which
these payments are received.
IMPORTANT
There can be more than on element PlatnosciCzesciowe in the invoice if payments are made
after goods and/or services are received and before the invoice is issued, except for cases
where no invoice is required under the law.

Facts:
A Polish taxable person orders goods from a French taxable person on January 15th, 2022
(order number FR/002/2022). The French taxable person does not have the goods on stock,
so he/it orders them from a German taxable person. The goods are transported directly from
the first to the last taxable person (i.e. from the German to the Polish one). The goods to be
supplied (and transported) are 2000 hair dryers placed in 50 cardboard packages (40 items
each). The (road) transport started on January 25th, 2022 at 07:34 in Dresden and finished on
January 25th, 2022 at 12:40 in Leszno (00-111, ul. Szara 25). The carrier – Thomas Schmidt
(German tax identifier: 1234567890, address: Zeil 123/45, Freiberg) transported the goods for
the French taxable person on the basis of transport order no. TR/09/22. The French taxable
person is the intermediary entity referred to in Art. 22 sec. 2d of the Act. The transaction is
not a simplified tripartite transaction. Considering that the French taxable person has to
declare an Intra-Community Acquisition of Goods in Poland, he/it is registered as an active
VAT payer (has a 10-digit Polish NIP). His/its sale to the Polish taxable person is subject to tax
in Poland. So, the French taxable person issues a Polish invoice with a 23% VAT charged on
the net amount.
The French taxable person, registered as an active VAT payer in Poland, can fill in the element

The optional element Zamówienie is intended for the order or contract referred to in Art. 106f
sec. 1 point 4 of the Act. For prepayment invoices this element is filled in obligatorily, in the
currency of the prepayment invoice.
In an amendment to a prepayment invoice, a taxable person should include differences
resulting from the correction of individual items of the order or contract or contra entries for
individual corrected items of the order or contract, and the correct values of these items in
separate rows, in the case where the value of the order is corrected.
An amendment to a prepayment invoice not changing the value of the order and changing the
taxable base or tax amount should include a contra entry for a row concerned (i.e. the value
of the row before the amendment) and an entry restoring the value of the order to confirm
that this value has not changed.
