The Ministry of Finance of Poland is developing an enhanced version of the e-Receipts application, adding features like sharing unique identifiers (KID) among family members and sending receipts via text or email to simplify collection and returns. E-receipts, legally equivalent to paper receipts, offer convenience, quicker customer service, promotional opportunities, environmental benefits, and help ensure market transparency and fair competition.

The Ministry of Finance of Poland is working on an upgraded version of the e-Receipts application. The update will include features such as transferring the KID (unique identifier) to family members and sending receipt images via text message or email. The goal of this incentive is to simplify the collection of e-receipts for families and make returns more convenient when using electronic receipts. This is still not obligatory to be supported by the merchants in Poland, because the possibility to issue e-receipts depends on the particular model of fiscal device—fiscal printer or cash register.
Benefits of E-Receipts Research indicates growing interest among Polish consumers in adopting e-receipts. According to the ministry, e-receipts offer advantages for both customers and entrepreneurs:
· Faster customer service due to immediate availability of receipts
· Access to promotions and bonuses through stored e-receipts
· Significant environmental benefits by reducing the need for around 12 billion non-recyclable paper receipts printed annually.
From a legal standpoint, electronically issued receipts are identical to traditional paper receipts and can be used for complaints, returns, and other purposes.
Also, the head of the National Tax Administration emphasized the critical role receipts play in fair competition and market transparency. Receipts serve as proof of purchase, enabling consumers to assert their rights and ensure reliable tax registration by businesses.
