What is KSeF?
KSeF (Krajowy System e-Faktur — National e-Invoice System) is a Polish Ministry of Finance platform that replaces paper and PDF invoices with structured XML documents submitted to a government system. Once sent, an invoice receives a KSeF number and is visible to both the issuer and the buyer inside the ministry system.
When does KSeF become mandatory — phases in 2026
From 1 February 2026, KSeF 2.0 — the new version of the system — goes live. From 1 April 2026, KSeF becomes mandatory for businesses whose monthly invoiced sales exceed PLN 10,000. Entities with monthly sales up to PLN 10,000 have until 1 January 2027. The exact dates and thresholds should always be verified on the official portal ksef.podatki.gov.pl, as the schedule may be updated by the legislature.
What does this mean for a farm service company?
Companies providing services on poultry farms — washing, disinfection, chick placement, loading — issue VAT invoices for completed work orders. If your monthly invoiced sales exceed PLN 10,000, you are required to issue invoices through KSeF from 1 April 2026. DlaFerm.pl has KSeF integration built in, so an invoice from a settlement goes straight to the ministry system without any additional tools.
What is a VAT RR invoice and how does it relate to KSeF?
A VAT RR invoice is a special document issued by the buyer (for example a poultry purchase company or feed mill) on behalf of a flat-rate farmer — not by the farmer themselves. The buyer settles the VAT on the farmer's behalf. KSeF covers VAT invoices in general; VAT RR invoices are subject to separate rules that are being progressively clarified. For the current obligation to issue VAT RR invoices through KSeF, always verify the latest legal position with a tax adviser or at podatki.gov.pl.

Frequently asked questions about KSeF for poultry farms
Does a poultry farmer have to issue invoices through KSeF?add
It depends on the farmer's VAT status. A flat-rate farmer is exempt from VAT and does not normally issue VAT invoices — the buyer does so in the form of a VAT RR invoice. If the farmer is a registered VAT payer and exceeds the sales threshold, the KSeF obligation applies on general terms — from 1 April 2026 (for sales above PLN 10,000 a month) or from 1 January 2027. We recommend checking the detailed legal position with a tax adviser.
What is a VAT RR invoice and who issues it?add
A VAT RR invoice is issued by the buyer of agricultural products (for example a poultry buyer or feed mill), not by the flat-rate farmer. This is how the buyer settles the flat-rate VAT refund owed to the farmer. The rules for issuing VAT RR invoices in KSeF are being progressively clarified — check the current position at podatki.gov.pl.
From when must a farm service company issue invoices through KSeF?add
If a company providing services on a farm (washing, loading, disinfection) invoices more than PLN 10,000 a month, the obligation applies from 1 April 2026. For lower sales — from 1 January 2027. These dates come from the schedule published at ksef.podatki.gov.pl and may be updated.
Does DlaFerm.pl support KSeF?add
Yes. DlaFerm.pl has built-in KSeF integration — you can configure the connection and submit service invoices to the National e-Invoice System directly from your account. The integration currently works on the Ministry's test environment. Details at /fakturowanie-ksef.
Does a flat-rate farmer need to register in KSeF?add
A flat-rate farmer who is VAT-exempt generally does not issue VAT invoices, so the KSeF registration obligation as an issuer does not apply to them directly. The buyer issuing the VAT RR invoice is subject to their own obligations. Detailed rules for flat-rate farmers are being clarified — we recommend checking at podatki.gov.pl.
Where can I find official information about KSeF?add
The official KSeF portal run by the Ministry of Finance is ksef.podatki.gov.pl. There you will find current dates, technical instructions, FAQ and forms. This DlaFerm.pl article is informational material, not tax advice.
