KSeF

Poland's centralised clearance, modelled on Italy's SdI.

Definition

KSeF receives the invoice in the FA XML schema, checks its conformity and assigns a timestamped KSeF identification number that sets the legal issuance date. The invoice is then made available to the buyer through the system.

Origin

Established by Poland's VAT Act (ustawa o VAT) and operated by the Ministry of Finance / Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa; FA structures published as official XSD schemas.

Example in context

After submitting the FA(2) XML, KSeF returns an Urzędowe Poświadczenie Odbioru (UPO) containing the invoice's KSeF number.
