Changes that may affect your business, employment or residence
We organise important information into two practical areas. Every item includes a verification date, a concise explanation and a direct link to an official source.
ACCOUNTING & PAYROLL
Key business obligations in 2026
Dates and changes affecting invoicing, tax records and employee settlements.
KSeF
Mandatory KSeF — receiving and issuing invoices
Receiving invoices through KSeF has been mandatory since 1 February 2026. Issuing e-invoices started on 1 February for the largest businesses and on 1 April 2026 for other taxpayers, with a temporary exception for gross monthly sales up to PLN 10,000.
Review the KSeF permissions granted to your accounting office.
Verify the workflow for purchase and sales invoices.
JPK_PD
Income-tax JPK reporting is expanding to more businesses
The duty to keep and submit accounting records electronically is being introduced in stages. For tax years starting after 31 December 2025, it covers further CIT and PIT taxpayers filing JPK_VAT monthly.
The scope depends on the type of records and taxpayer status.
The next group is covered for years starting after 31 December 2026.
PAYROLL
Minimum wage and hourly rate in 2026
The minimum monthly wage is PLN 4,806 gross and the minimum hourly rate is PLN 31.40. Both amounts apply from 1 January 2026.

Use the new amounts in payroll calculations.
WORK & RESIDENCE
Procedures for employers and foreign nationals
Changes to document submission and selected obligations concerning work and residence in Poland.

Some attachments must be signed by an employer, university or another entity.
WORK LEGALISATION
Electronic procedures and new employer duties
Declarations, seasonal work permit applications and related documents are submitted electronically through praca.gov.pl. Employers also have notification duties when work starts, is not taken up or ends early.
A copy of the contract must be provided before work begins.
Notification deadlines depend on the document and event.
EU BLUE CARD
New rules for highly qualified employment
The rules broadened the meaning of higher professional qualifications to include suitable professional experience and introduced short- and long-term mobility arrangements for EU Blue Card holders.
Qualifications, the contract and remuneration level all matter.
Separate rules apply to mobility and family members.
These materials provide general information only and are not legal or tax advice. The correct procedure and scope of obligations depend on the individual circumstances and the current wording of the law.
