Sending e-invoices to the Polish government
There are several options to submit e-invoices to the Polish government:

PEF: All invoices for public procurement must be sent to the PEF platform. This platform is mandatory for government institutions and is used to collect invoices.
You can work directly with the PEF platform and add your invoices manually.

Companies can also request access to PEF but only as a track-and trace tool.

Peppol: invoices for Polish public entities can also be sent via the Peppol network. They will then be sent automatically to the PEF platform.
When you use an e-invoicing tool connected to the Peppol network, you can send your invoices directly from your account to PEF without uploading them again manually.
