Poland: mandatory fiscal cash registers extended to parking services
Date note: Regulation of the Minister of Finance and Economy of 29 September 2025 amending cash-register exemptions (Dz.U. 2025 poz. 1345). Ticket-machine (vending) sales get a further one-year exemption and only become subject to the same obligation from 1 April 2027.
What changes
From 1 April 2026, providers of parking services in Poland, including automated/unattended parking with payment machines, lost their exemption from the obligation to record sales on a fiscal cash register and issue a receipt.
Who is affected
Businesses providing paid parking services to consumers in Poland, including operators of unattended or automated parking payment machines; housing cooperatives and staff-only parking are excluded.
Sizes: micro, small, medium, large · Sectors: Transport / logistics, Retail, Professional services · Applies if: We sell to consumers (B2C)
What to do
If you operate or manage paid parking (including via a payment machine), register a fiscal cash register (an online or virtual cash register can be used) and ensure every parking payment is recorded and a receipt is issued or offered electronically. Vending/ticket-machine operators should plan for the same obligation from 1 April 2027.
Penalty
Fines under the Fiscal Penal Code (Kodeks karny skarbowy) for failing to record sales on a cash register or issue a receipt.
